Home for the Pawlidays

December 13, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
A man dressed as Santa holding a dog in his arms. To his side are two cats and two dogs dressed in Christmas attire.

Join us on December 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Devore and Big Bear Animal Shelters for our Home for the Pawlidays adoption event!

Snap a festive photo with Santa and Buddy the Dog Elf, browse local pet vendor booths, and enjoy coffee from Cafe Angeles, which will be on-site. Plus, the first 30 adopters will receive a free drink and pup cup sponsored by the Animals aRe First Fund (ARFF)!

It’s also the perfect time to spread a little holiday cheer — donate toys, treats, or cozy blankets to help fill our kennel stockings for pets spending the season in our care.

Save the date and make a shelter pet’s holiday wish come true!
