Local pet owners took their pets to meet Santa Claus at the West Chester PetSmart, 7574 Voice of America Centre Drive, this past weekend.

Proceeds benefited Pampered Pets Animal Rescue, a nonprofit organization that rescues and finds new homes for endangered and unwanted dogs, cats and rabbits.

“We are receiving more requests for intake due to people losing their jobs and homes,” said Tracy Heinrichs, the rescue’s president. “Our average monthly vet bill is around $860 and that’s with a discount. Fundraisers like this are crucial in enabling us to rescue animals in need.”
