Santa Paws is coming to town. 

Thanks to the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) who are hosting an adorable charity event this December, your precious pup can get their photo taken with Santa (and a bag of treats) for just €5 this weekend.

Meanwhile, you can grab a coffee and browse the stalls for a doggy-approved Christmas gift.

Santa will arrive at their facility in Mahon on Saturday, December 3rd at 12 pm and stay there until Sunday, December 4th at 6pm.

While you’re there, treat yourself or your pup to some delicious Christmas goodies and gifts at the different stalls, and make sure to snag some tickets for their huge Christmas raffle, which includes fantastic prizes including a year pass to Fota Wildlife Park, a free vet consultation from Abbeyville veterinary hospital, Wash & Dry vouchers from The Spaw pet spa, and an abundance of pet related hampers.

Raffle tickets will be €2 each or 3 for €5.

Your ticket price and raffle tickets go directly towards funding the extremely important work done by the CSPCA, whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals of all species and sizes in need in Cork.

No booking is required, and participants are encouraged to park at the Mahon Point overflow carpark nearby to give their dog a chance to stretch its legs before meeting Mr. Claus.
