Silent Auction with Santa Pet Photos event poster

We’re holding a pet-forward event Saturday, December 13th where we’ll wrap up our week-long Silent Auction, raffle a Lottery Tree, offer sweet homebaked treats, and snap festive pet photos with Santa Paws! All benefitting Bond County Humane Society!

Bid on Silent Auction baskets December 8-13 at The Milk House in Greenville, open daily (check their hours). Bidding closes at 1pm Dec 13 and you do not need to be present to win! Many lots are left over from the cut-short Paws in the Park, BUT we have also secured some new silent auction items, such as 1) a family outing at the new golf facility in Edwardsville (similar to TopGolf), 2) a day with the Budweiser Clydesdales, 3) a Day Spa package, and many more!

Photos with Santa will be 1 for $15 and 2 for $25, printed on site, so bring your leashed dog and/or cat in a carrier and pose them with the kids or the entire family! You can make an appointment for a particular photo time or just walk in. Call/text 618-910-8443.

Also shop our Bake Sale, buy a BCHS Tee Shirt, greeting cards, more to be discovered/donated!

Thank you 2025 Paws in the Park Sponsors, Volunteers, and Attendees! Our event would not have been paws-sible without you!!!

While Paws in the Park 2025 was cut short Saturday, October 18 at the fairgrounds by a strong thunderstorm, we were still able to enjoy about an hour of activities! Thank you to all who came out early.

Congratulations to our raffle winners; Cutest Pet Photo Winner: Sunny cat submitted by Robyn Hargan; and Best Dressed in the Costume Parade: a gorgeous Great Dane Charlee, with her owner Shawna Henrichsmeyer, portraying a Holstein cow in the Chick-fil-A commercials! Our event coordinator is working on a plan to continue the Silent Auction at another date and place soon.

We’d really appreciate your financial support the remainder of 2025 as Paws is usually our largest fundraiser. Make a donation, bid on an auction, adopt/foster a pet, and spay/neuter your own pets to prevent unwanted litters. Thank you again, pet lovers!

Visit our Facebook Page for photos!! Comment/tag your own photos, too!
