Mitchell County Animal Rescue Hosts

“Santa Paws” Pet Photo Shoot & Toys for Tails Donation Drive

Saturday, December 20 • 10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Spruce Pine, NC — Mitchell County Animal Rescue (MCAR) invites the community to celebrate the holiday spirit with our beloved Santa Paws Pet Photo Shoot and Toys for Tails donation drive on Saturday, December 20th from 10 AM to 1 PM.

Bring your furry companions for a festive photo with Santa Paws—who kindly requests no hippos this year, no matter how much you or your pets might “want a hippopotamus for Christmas”! A suggested donation of $5 will get your pet’s picture with Santa, with all proceeds supporting the lifesaving work of Mitchell County Animal Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

We are also collecting new pet toys for our Toys for Tails holiday drive. These gifts will help brighten the season for the cats and dogs spending their holidays in the shelter.
