Santa Paws for Heartland Animal Shelter

It doesn't matter if your pet is on the naughty or nice list, your four-legged family member will have a chance to hang out with Santa while helping homeless animals at the same time. Santa will be visiting Heartland Animal Shelter on Saturday, December 11th  and Sunday, December 12th from 1 to 4 pm for pet pictures with Santa. For a $5 donation to the shelter, you may have your pets picture (and kids or family as well) taken with Santa. Electronic photos will be sent out after the event, just in time for Christmas.

This is a great time to stop by the shelter to visit the animals and to enjoy some holiday cheer! Shop Heartland's bake sale for special Holiday goodies while you wait. During these tough economic times, Heartland is also in need of donations of items from their wish list from canned cat and kitten food (non-fish flavored), canned dog and puppy food, to towels, blankets, and newspapers. More items are listed at the shelter Web site at www.heartlandanimalshelter.net/WishList.html.

Heartland Animal Shelter is a no-kill, non-profit shelter located at 2975 Milwaukee Avenue in Northbrook. Last year, over 1,100 dogs and cats found homes thanks to Heartland.
