"This was such an awesome event. When we went two years ago, not only did we get amazing Santa pictures with our pooch, but my dog received a rubber squeaky camera toy in his goodie bag. That thing was his FAVORITE toy for over a year until it was literally in shreds."

~ Kelly Rice-Reynolds

Guidelines:

• Dogs must be on a leash. Cats and other pets must be in a carrier. 
• AVHS encourages you to have no more than THREE animals in a photo session. It is a challenge for the photographer and the elves to get all the animals looking at the camera.
• AVHS encourages you to have no more than FOUR people in a photo session. The animals usually do best if only one person is in the photo session. 

You may also purchase a 2024 AVHS Pet Calendar for $15, as well as raffle baskets, pet bandanas, and other items.
