GRRIN is not meeting and greeting at this event, but we hope you can get your photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus!

Pet lovers and their furry friends are invited for the 11th annual Santa Paws event for Hearts United for Animals. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand to pose with pets. Elves from the University of Nebraska at Omaha will take a photo of the pet on Santa’s lap, print the photo on site and turn it into a holiday card. All photos will also be emailed to pet owners. The fee is $25, with a $5 discount to $20 if you bring a donation of pet supplies. All proceeds go directly to Hearts United for Animals, a no-kill shelter and animal welfare organization. Hearts United receives no government funding and exists solely on donations and the all-volunteer staff. The annual event is sponsored by the UNO chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). For the last 10 years, students have planned the event and donated the proceeds to a local animal shelter or rescue groups.
