It’s the mooooost wonderful tiiiime of the year…to dress your pup up, get out there and hit up some holiday parties. We rounded up some of the best dog-friendly events across the country so you can get festive together:
Who doesn’t want a pup under their tree?! Get into the spirit to ‘save them all’ at this uber adopt-a-thon on December 9 and 10, where hundreds of dogs will be waiting for you to take them home.
Hosted at a brewery on December 17, all (not-so) well-decked humans and pups get their pro photos taken and caricature drawings done at this festive event—plus, it benefits a local animal shelter.
Take pics with Santa and sip on apple cider while your pup snacks on gourmet treats at this posh hotel party on December 16.
There will be plenty of lovable pups to adopt at this special event on December 10, plus photos with Santa, prizes and an ugly sweater contest.
Bring your pup to take pics with Saint Nick, eat breakfast and check out some adoptable pups at this event that benefits Mutt Madd-ness Dog Rescue on December 9.
A brunch buffet + bottomless mimosas + pics with Santa = the perfect holiday party with your pup—and the proceeds benefit Friends of Jacksonville Animals.
This four-day pup bonanza takes place December 7-10, during which you can shop for your pup, eat some of Boston’s best baked goods AND support the MSPCA-Boston’s Animal Care and Adoption Center.
It’s the 10th anniversary of this feel-good event on December 9, where you can decorate cookies and dog treats—and buy baked goods to benefit the animals at this local shelter.
