Celebrate the season with your pooch at “Paws With Santa,” benefiting Lost Our Home Pet Foundation. It takes place 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 on the patio at Rico’s American Grill, 7677 N. 16th St.

Pups and their owners can pose with Mr. Claus himself for a festive holiday portrait, mix and mingle over “yappy” hour food and drink specials, and enjoy complimentary pet goody bags provided by Noble Beast. A $10 cash donation is suggested, with 100 percent of all donations benefiting Lost Our Home Pet Foundation’s mission to keep pets in loving homes when their families face major life challenges, and to provide compassionate alternatives when Realtors and the community find an abandoned pet.

If you can’t make it by for this event, then head over to Metrocenter Mall for Pet Photos With Santa, which are scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Dec. 7, 14 & 21. They will take place on the lower level of the mall in the court area outside of Dillard’s.
