Dogs, cats and an alpaca took photos with Santa as part of a fundraiser for the Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue (SAAR) over the weekend.

The Santa Shop’s Santa volunteered for his sixth animal rescue visit, with SAAR event coordinator Carey Hawkins calling him a “rockstar santa.” Baking by Kristen Enns was also up for sale.

The $1,294 raised by the $10 Heather Murray Photography photo sessions and the bake sale goes to running the rescue, which needs things like food, vet care, and kitty litter.

There was a feline intake freeze at the rescue shelter, with foster homes full of cats and a need for more donations.

The shelter’s Facebook page is full of profiles of cats and dogs looking for a home. The website steinbachanimalrescue.com also has links to donate and foster animals, and to volunteer.
