Last weekend, many decorated doggies (and a festive feline!) came out to the hospital to visit with our very own Santa Paws, Dr. Mike Strickland.  Our Client Care Specialist and resident photographer, Julee, always does an amazing job capturing the visits with the Big Man and this year was no exception!  Take a look at her beautiful photos and our crazy cute patients below.

Our Pictures with Santa event is always extra-special because donations benefit Leesburg Veterinary Hospital’s Benevolent Fund.  We all know how difficult it can be to make decisions regarding veterinary care when finances are limited.  The LVH Benevolent Fund is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) endowment that provides support to those clients who cannot afford veterinary care.  This fund has been a source of hope for families, especially during times of critical and end-of-life care.  We are continually amazed and thankful for our client’s dedication to not only their own pet’s health but the well-being of the entire Loudoun County pet community. This year, we raised over $400!

If you’ve been thinking about donating to a charity this holiday season or before the end of the year, please consider our Benevolent Fund.   Your generosity may help save a special friend for someone in need.  To download our donation form, visit the “Hospital Forms” page of our website, or CLICK HERE. We thank all of our clients who are keeping the true spirit of Christmas alive this holiday season and embracing our motto of “Caring is What We Do Best!”

Merry Mia looks beautiful and matches Santa in her red velvet collar.

Maximus, a beautiful six-month-old shepherd mix is getting excited – he’ll be celebrating his first Christmas this year!

Chili the Chihuahua is surrounded by her dashing Dachshund friends Lucy and Ginger.

Cammie and her festive feline brother Jack looked adorable in their matching outfits!

Would you look at this handsome boy! Gus, an Old English Mastiff posed perfectly with The Big Man!

With those antlers, we think Cooper deserves a spot on Santa’s team – move over Dancer and Prancer!

Misty is always so excited to visit with Santa Paws. We love that bandana – it matches our present’s wrapping paper!

Roxy looks ravishing in her striped scarf!

We always love seeing Apollo’s annual getup. He outdid himself this year in this super-cute and kitchy Christmas sweater.

Golden Retrievers Brodie and Sophie have the best smiles. They are definitely on Santa’s nice list!

Thanks again to all of our wonderful clients and patients who came out for a fun and festive afternoon!
