HEBER CITY, Utah — The Heber Valley Animal Shelter is inviting pet owners to bring their furry friends for a festive photo with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 20, from noon to 3 p.m.

The event, hosted by Heber Valley Animal Services, will take place at the Heber City Police Department, located at 301 S. Main St.

Each photo costs $5, with all proceeds benefiting the animal shelter. Organizers ask that all dogs remain leashed to ensure a safe and smooth event.

The shelter says the fundraiser is a fun way for the community to support local animals while capturing a holiday keepsake.
