No need for Fido, or any pet, to feel left out on a picture with Santa! This year, the Dirty Dawg Wash, in Norwood, has all animals covered with their Pet Pictures with Santa Day! This event does more, however, than make beloved companions and their family feel included, it is also a fundraiser for Charley’s Angels Pet Initiative (CAPI). 

CAPI, a local non-profit organization launched in July, focuses it efforts in assisting owners who may find themselves struggling with the costs of pet ownership. They can provide essentials, such as food, litter, preventatives, toys, and enrichment, as well as financial veterinary assistance for those not able to pay for critical care.

On Saturday, Dec. 9, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Santa will be available to commemorate the season with a keepsake photo! For a $15 donation, families will receive a 4 x 6 photo, and just in case a holiday manicure is needed, dog nail trimming will be available for an additional $15 donation.

As mentioned, all proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit Charley’s Angels Pet Initiative. The Dirty Dawg Wash is located at 1 Wilson St., (corner of Wilson and Walpole Sts.). For more information, call 781-762-8822
