Join us for Valentine's Day Pet Portraits!

Love will be in the air for both the furry and human kind at our Valentine's Day Pet Portraits on Feb. 4.

You are cordially invited to stop by EHS to have your pets' photos taken in front of a festive backdrop, just in time to create Valentine's Day cards. Furry Valentines are, after all, the purrfect gift for the animal lovers in your life!

For a $10 donation to EHS, you will receive a keepsake 4x6 photo; for an additional $10, you can get a CD with the digital files.

Valentine's Day Pet Portraits is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 4 at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. For more information call (760) 888-2235. Walk-ins (and wag-ins!) are welcome.
