Our tree is looking a bit more full and decorated, but it would always look better with your pet's picture on it! We need YOUR pets help decorating our Christmas tree! Comment on this post with a picture of your pet and we’ll make an ornament/keychain of your pet to decorate our tree!

After Christmas, stop by and you can take the ornament home with you! Use it as a keychain to keep your pet’s cuteness with you all year around! People will be jealous. Or not. It's a free keychain with your adorable pet's picture!

Please respond to THIS POST ONLY when sharing your pics. Pics with a higher resolution and are well lit tend to work best. While pics with filters, frames, and whatnot are fun, we sometimes have to crop, zoom, or trim pics to make sure the pet is featured and get it to fit the ornament/keychain. Including these things sometimes makes the pic look “a little weird.” Or, send us a pic of your pet looking weird to begin with and lean into it! Do whatever makes you happy! After all, it's a free keychain with your pet's picture, and we need to decorate our Christmas tree!

As always, if you'd like to make a donation to the Dr. Christa Young Memorial Angel Fund (https://bellalagovethospital.com/angelfund.html) in exchange for the key chain (or just because), we'll be accepting those. All donations go to helping deserving pets in the community. In 2024, donations made to the fund helped over 30 pets receive the care they desperately needed!
