If you happened to swing by Market Street Brewery in Havre De Grace, Maryland on December 3, you would have been treated to quite the festive spectacle. Market Street Brewery hosted a Pets with Santa day, which was an event designed not just to spread the holiday cheer and allow patrons to bring their furry friends in for a photoshoot with Santa, but also to give back to Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland who is helping rescued pets be welcomed in to their forever home.
Packed with animal lovers, families and some of the cutest pets we’ve seen, the photoshoot was all kinds of adorable. Dogs and puppies donning cute Christmas scarves and sweaters, a guinea pig, and even a few pet owners dressing up to match their four-legged buddies; every participant brought their own touch of magic to the event.
Our star guest, Santa, didn’t disappoint either! He sat patiently as the pets strutted, scurried, or in some cases, barked their way to him. Whether it was a warm cuddle, a lick on the nose, or a playful banter, each interaction was as unique as the pet and owner themselves, capturing some of the sweetest, heartwarming, and funniest holiday memories on camera.
However, the photoshoot was more than just fun and games. Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland brought some rescued pets to the event as well. This Pets with Santa event served a meaningful purpose: to raise funds and awareness for the rescued animals and to give these furbabies a better chance at finding their forever homes. For each photoshoot purchased, a percentage went straight to the noble cause.
We were thrilled by the turnout and participation at the event. Market Street Brewery customers and friends not only enjoyed a memorable afternoon, but they also played a crucial part in providing the necessary resources to animals in need. Thanks to the Pets with Santa photoshoot, Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland will now be better equipped to continue their incredible work in animal welfare.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this day possible – from the volunteers who made the photoshoot a success, the tireless workers at Market Street Brewery and Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland, and to all the fantastic pet-owners who participated with such enthusiasm.
Thank you for showing that the spirit of Christmas is not just about giving, but also about compassion, empathy, and a shared commitment to make a difference. We are reminded that kindness and love are indeed the greatest gifts we can give. Happy Holidays!
