Looking for a last minute gift for the Grandma who has everything? Feel like your family Christmas card is missing something? The Nelson branch of the BC SPCA may have the solution.

Santa has booked off time in his busy schedule from 12-3 on both Friday and Saturday, December 17 and 18, at the Nelson Adoption Center for photos with pets, kids, and families. Taken by a professional photographer, these photos will include whichever members of the family, four-legged or otherwise, you would like.

“We feel very grateful that Santa has found time in his holiday schedule to stop by the Adoption Center” said Julie Fletcher, the Nelson branch supervisor. “He’s always been an animal lover, so he wasn’t very hard to convince.”

For a $15 donation, the Nelson branch of the SPCA will give all families one complimentary 8 x 10 print, plus the digital files to print more. Further prints can also be ordered through the SPCA.

All friendly dog, cats, and other animals are welcome. The Nelson SPCA is located at 520-C Falls St., above the Savoy Bowling Lanes. For further information, contact them by phone at 250-352-7178.
