COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- You better not bark, you better not whine, you better not cry I'm telling you why: Santa Paws is Coming to Town!

The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) is inviting the community to bring their pets (and the entire family!) to HSPPR at 610 Abbott Lane for professional photos with Santa Paws December 3 & 4 from 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Choose from holiday-themed or neutral backdrops.

Photo packages start at $20 and all proceeds benefit the 21,000 plus abandoned, abused and neglected homeless animals who come through the shelter annually.

No appointment for Santa Paws is necessary.

"You will get to preview your photos before making your final selection," says Erica Meyer with the humane society. "Prints will be mailed within 7 business days, or you can pick them up at the shelter."

Kimberly Price and Criag Coffey from FOX21 Morning News will play "Santa's little helpers" on Saturday, Dec. 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., so stop by and say hello!
