Santa pictures with pups help Tahoe nonprofit

Wild Blue Dogs, the nonprofit that raises money to help dogs with cancer, is putting on two events in December.

People may have their dog’s picture taken with Santa on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16 from 1-4pm at Tahoe Beach Retreat in South Lake Tahoe. A $10 donation is suggested. (At the same time, Mrs. Clause will be at the hotel making cookies and crafts with kids.)

Canines and Cocktails will be at Sidelines inside Tahoe Beach Retreat on Dec. 18 from 5-9pm. Roast s’mores and bring the furry family members for a 25 percent discount. Dogs are allowed in the hotel lobby or patio area.
