anta came to visit the Gulf Coast Brewery on the eve of December 14 to spend some time 
with the canine boys and girls. The Pensacola Humane Society invited guests and their 
furry friends to visit and have their photos taken with good old ‘Santa Paws’.  Several 
pups were dressed in holiday attire and made new friends throughout the night.  An 

experienced photographer was also on hand to capture images for the Humane Society’s social 
media sites. Volunteers were available to provide more information on adoptions, donations, and 
becoming a foster.

There was no entry fee, but donations to the Pensacola Humane Society were greatly 

appreciated. Several of the dogs housed in the PHS attended the event in hopes to fi nd their “fur-
ever family.”

The Pensacola Humane Society is an organization comprised of passionate advocates that love 

animals as much as they love us: unconditionally. They are a unique mix of dreamers, idealists, 
and optimists grounded in reality and fueled by an overwhelming commitment to the wellbeing 
and care of all animals within the community. They are known both within the community and 
nationally as an exemplary animal agency. The Pensacola Humane Society is working hard to 
change the pet community, four paws at a time.
