Photos with Santa Paws - IDPWD Day 2024

For the Love of Dogs Academy is hosting a special doggy Santa photo session to celebrate International Day of People with Disability!

Join us for a fun-filled day where you can snap a festive pic with your pup or borrow one of ours for the shot! This event is all about celebrating the holiday season, connecting with our amazing dog-loving community, and raising funds for future programs at For the Love of Dogs Academy.

Bring your family, friends, and, of course, your pets! We’ll have some Christmas props, treats for the pups and their humans, and plenty of friendly faces. You’ll have the chance to meet fellow pet owners, learn more about what we do, and enjoy a joyful day out. Every dollar raised will go toward helping us launch our programs which you can read more about at loveofdogs.org.au.
