Santa Paws today from 1-5pm
I hope to see you today at the SPCA Santa Paws event from 1-5pm. Forever Young Photography will be photographing your pet to help raise money for the SPCA.
The SPCA’s Annual Santa Paws event gives animal lovers an opportunity to have professional holiday photos taken while helping homeless pets. Bring your favorite, furry family members and make this year’s holiday cards extra special with a Santa Paws picture. Santa Paws photos will be taken at the Creekside Crossing Shopping Center (corner of Six Forks & Wake Forest Road in Raleigh) Sunday, December 4th from 1:00-5:00 pm. Walk-ins will be accommodated as quickly as possible, if there are gaps between scheduled appointments. To immediately make & confirm your appointment date and time online, you may click the red button below or leave a message on the Santa Paws voicemail line at 919-576-0795 to receive a return call within 48 hours.

“Widespread use of this pesticide {Triclosan} in consumer products is causing toxic pollution in our bodies and our waterways, and is contributing to rising rates of “superbacteria” that are resistant to antibiotics. And here’s the real kicker: studies show that triclosan-based antibacterial soaps are no more effective at preventing disease than washing with plain old soap and water.”
