Glenwood Village Pet Hospital is a Toys for Tots donation spot and incorporates this into its annual holiday open house held with photo booth backdrop for clients and the community.
The event, which includes pet pictures with Santa, took place from 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at the clinic, 555 E. Glenwood-Lansing Road in Glenwood, Illinois.
Pets, kids and their grown-ups are welcome to pose with Santa, who will be played by veterinarian Terence Locke. Photo booth backdrop photos will be uploaded to a free share site after the event or prints can be purchased during the event for a nominal fee.
This is the fourth year collecting toys and hosting the open house and it gets better every year. Last year, they collected almost 200 of toys to help the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve with its Toys for Tots efforts. For each toy donation, a ticket is given for a free nail trim. The nail trim can be done during the open house or at a later date. Owners must provide proof of rabies vaccination.
Toys are being accepted through Dec. 13 during regular business hours, which are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; and 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
