Families, friends and pets can meet Santa at the North Pole and snap a keepsake by attending The Hawaiian Humane Society’ Santa Paws holiday photoshoot event.

This year’s event is slated to run from 12 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, at the fourth floor of Macy’s in Ala Moana Shopping Center.

"We're grateful to Macy's Ala Moana for making this special event possible," said Anna Neubauer, Hawaiian Humane Society President and CEO, in a statement. "Santa Paws has become a beloved holiday tradition for our community, and we're excited to bring it to Macy’s Ala Moana for the first time. It's a wonderful way to celebrate the season while helping the more than 30,000 animals we serve each year."

Proceeds from photo sales and holiday merchandise with go toward Humane Society's mission “to promote the human-animal bond and the humane treatment of all animals.”
