important event and safety info

  • For the safety of other dogs, Santa, and our volunteers we ask that all dogs stay leashed. When you arrive you will be directed by a volunteer to “Santa Land” located on the second floor of Atria Larson Place. There are two elevators and a staircase leading up. 
  • For safety reasons please keep a proper distance from other dogs and be respectful of others if you need any assistance don’t hesitate to ask one of Santa’s helpers.
  • There will be an area near the fireplace where we will begin a line for your pet’s photo with Santa. You will be asked to fill out your name, phone number, and email to receive your photo. Digital photos are $10 and framed copies are $15. 100% goes to the build of the first-ever Hamden Animal Shelter. We will accept cash/check and Venmo payments only. Photos will be available later in the week (both digital and framed copies). 
  • Make sure to check out the vendors before or after your photo and support local small businesses.
  • If your pet is nervous or not good with other dogs we recommend coming at the very beginning or towards the end of the event. You can call 203-623-7145 once you arrive and a volunteer will escort you and your pet safely. Please remain in your car until it is safe to come in.
  • Please clean up after your pets outside. Poop bags will be provided if you do not have one. If your pet has an accident inside just make sure a volunteer is aware so we can get it cleaned up right away. 

ALSO, Introducing Hamden’s newest Assistant Animal Control Officer, Crystal Dal Negro. Please come out THIS Sunday and welcome Crystal to Hamden. If you are a dog person, by all means, bring your 4-legged family members for Pet Pics with Santa. Other people in the greater Hamden animal community are welcome to come meet Crystal and browse the Holiday Craft Show. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Thanks Everyone,

We Look Forward to Seeing You!
