A Festive Night for Pets, Photos, and a Good Cause Comes to Neuville Motors on Dec. 17

Waupaca - If your family loves holiday traditions and furry friends, Neuville Motors is inviting the community to a cheerful evening that supports local animals in need. On Wednesday, December 17, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Neuville Motors is hosting a Holiday Pet Photos and Adoption Event, benefiting Our Pack Animal Rescue Inc. (OPARI) and the Waupaca County Humane Society.

Inside the decorated showroom, families can take free holiday photos with their pets in front of a festive photo spot featuring Snoopy’s dog house. A photographer will be on site and digital photos will be emailed to attendees. The event is free, with donations encouraged as part of a community drive themed “Fill Snoopy’s Truck.”

“Being a foster dog parent myself, combining our holiday decorations with a community event feels like the best of both worlds,” said Melissa Christie, a Neuville Motors Sales Consultant and OPARI foster parent. “We are excited to give these dogs a chance to meet potential adopters, and we also cannot wait to welcome families into the showroom for photos with their pets. It is going to be a fun night for the community, and for a great cause.”

Meet Adoptable Dogs and Start the Adoption Process

OPARI expects roughly 10 adoptable dogs to be available for a meet and greet during the event. Organizers say adoptions will be available with an approved application, and for many families, the evening is also a great way to start the process if adopting has been on their mind heading into the holidays.

Those interested in adopting can begin by completing OPARI’s online application here:https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html

“Fill Snoopy’s Truck” Donation Drive Runs Through Dec. 31

Neuville Motors is collecting pet supply donations now through December 31. Donations will be divided equally between OPARI and the Waupaca County Humane Society. At this time, unopened donations are preferred. Donations can be dropped off at Neuville Motors through December 31.

Most needed items include:
