The ARL's 38th Annual Santa N Paws Photo Fundraiser
Join us for the 38th Annual Santa N Paws at the ARL! Bring the family, humans and pets alike, for a photo to celebrate the 2024 holiday season! You don't have to own a pet, or even bring them to participate, holiday photos of any kind are welcome. All proceeds from this event will benefit the thousands of pets at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa!
