Santa Paws is coming to town! Join us at Brooklyn Carreta on November 29 for photos, food, and fun! Santa Paws Portland coincides with Small Business Saturday so you can come out to get your photo taken, while also supporting POOCH and a variety of local food carts!

You can have your photo taken with your pet (dogs, cats, and rabbits are all welcome!), with your family and your pet, with your friends and your pet, of just your pet, of just you, of just you and your family, or just you and your friends. OR, you could even have a photo taken of random strangers with your pet! (as long as your pet isn’t scared of random strangers of course.)

If your dog has stranger danger or strong dog reactivity and you would like to get your photo taken at Santa Paws, please reach out to us ahead of time so we can try to accommodate you. Use the signup form below to tell us about your pup. We aim for this to be as stress free and fear free as possible for the pups! It should be fun, not scary.

There will be a limited selection of free squeaky toys for our early attendees, along with some dog sweaters, and dog jackets!

This is a fundraiser event for Project POOCH. Donations are welcomed! This event is part of our Give Guide 2026 Event Series.
