Pup Pics With Santa, A Christmas Success!

Updated: Nov 15, 2023

Yappy holidays and thanks to all who helped make tails wag and spirits bright with us at our annual Pup Pics With Santa, a Fundraiser benefitting Take Paws Rescue. It was a fur real success!


As fun-loving folks on an award-winning and top-producing New Orleans real estate team, we help people find new homes every day. So, it only makes sense we'd moonlight by helping Take Paws Rescue, an organization dedicated to helping dogs find new homes too!


More on this great day and ridiculous cuteness below.



On Sunday, December 18th, 2022, Santa Paws came to town. Team Cool Murphy, together with NOLA Bark Market, hosted Pup Pics With Santa! A Fundraiser for Take Paws Rescue. We met so many fun and happy pups throughout the day!





A suggested donation of $25 got pups special access to the doggy North Pole, where they (and their families if they so chose) could take pics as Santa's little yelpers.



The event raised $1,000 in proceeds which were donated directly to Take Paws Rescue for their rescue and rehome efforts. Take Paws was present to explain how to get involved by becoming a foster or by providing a furever home to an adoptable pup.



Special thanks to Murphy Property Services for providing us with a very special Santa's Helper. You were the ulti-mutt Santa and wrangled ultra-merry pups all day. We know some times the snuggle was real, and other times it was a bit more festive!



Attendees of the event enjoyed themselves, and their humans, and also got to browse some fun local artwork too. Many pursued the aisles of NOLA Bark Market, picking up last-minute stocking stuffers for friends, family, and their own merry christmutts.


Thank you to NOLA Bark Market for providing the decked halls, venue, snacks, and squeakers. It's snow joke; we couldn't have done this without y'all!




All funds raised were donated by participants directly to Take Paws Rescue.


Take Paws Rescue is a tightly knit network of local volunteers dedicated to providing safe, loving, rehabilitating foster homes while searching for the dogs' forever home. They have helped hundreds of dogs find families, including mine! All donations go towards the costs of vetting, feeding, and caring for the dogs in foster.


NOLA Bark Market is a pet boutique housed in the Historic Wiltz Gymnasium in New Orleans’ Bywater. It caters to both furry family members and artistic endeavors and offers a wide variety of pet services, including but not limited to: a vast selection of pet supplies, pet classes, doggy daycare, and a private open-air dog run.




If you'd like to donate to Take Paws Rescue, you can do so here. They are also always in need of willing and capable foster parents. This is especially true as they continue their efforts for rehoming dogs made homeless by natural disasters. You can sign up here to help foster.
