NEW HOPE, PA — Stella of New Hope is celebrating the howl-idays with the return of its beloved Claus & Paws.

On Sunday, Dec. 7, from 12 to 3 p.m., pet owners and lovers are invited to bundle up and bring their furry family members to Stella’s outdoor patio to capture heartwarming holiday photo with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The backdrop will feature Stella’s cozy patio fireplace, decked out in festive seasonal décor to create the perfect setting for this year’s keepsake.

The tradition is held in conjunction with Animal Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating homeless animals located in Lambertville, N.J. Guests are encouraged to make a $10 donation to support the organization in exchange for their festive photos.

Animal Alliance will have several adoptable dogs on-site, offering attendees the chance to meet pups in need of a loving home — and perhaps find a new four-legged family member just in time for holidays.

Stella is located inside the Ghost Light Inn, next to the Bucks County Playhouse in downtown New Hope.
