Pets Join Santa for Holiday Photos at Abbotsford Fundraiser

The annual Pet Pics With Santa Paws fundraiser is set to take place on November 29, 2023, at Buckerfield’s in Abbotsford, British Columbia. This event invites pet owners to bring their furry friends for a festive photo opportunity with Santa Claus, all while supporting a good cause. Attendees can secure a digital copy of their pet’s photo with the beloved holiday figure by making a donation to the BC SPCA in Abbotsford.

Event Details and Safety Measures

The Pet Pics With Santa Paws event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Buckerfield’s, located at 31852 Marshall Place.
