Maui Humane Society to host holiday photo sessions for dogs with Santa and Mrs. Claus

The Maui Humane Society will host holiday photo sessions for dogs and puppies with Santa and Mrs. Claus on Nov. 21 at its Puʻunēnē shelter.

The event, called Paw-liday Photos, will run from 9 to 11 a.m., according to the shelter. Sessions must be scheduled in advance, which the organization said is meant to keep the experience safe and low-stress for the animals.

Pre-registration is required, and space is limited, the shelter said. Pet owners can reserve a time slot online through Calendly.

Registration costs $50 per session, and the money supports animals in the shelter’s care. Each registration includes a 2027 Maui Humane Society calendar.

Owners may take their own photos with a phone or camera during the sessions. All dogs must stay on a secure leash. The shelter encourages festive attire such as bandanas, holiday sweaters and reindeer antlers.
