"Operation Santa Paws"

Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands general manager and co-owner Bob Milner was inspired last year to create a special Yuletide event, Operation Santa Paws. Bob said “all of our children, human or canine, can use a visit to St. Nick.” This year’s second annual event will take place at the luxury auto retailer’s location at 16917 Interstate 45 South, just north of Highway 242, on Saturday, December 10, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. All members of the public and their canine companions are invited to attend the free event, which will include treats for dogs and humans, raffle drawings and a Christmas Canine Costume Contest. Additionally, for only $10, dogs can get their photos taken with Santa Claus while posing inside a Mercedes convertible. “Not only does this event provide a day of fun, but it also provides funds and awareness to a worthy cause,” said Milner. “We have chosen Houston Animal Rescue Team (HART) to benefit from the proceeds of Operation Santa Paws.” For more information on Operation Santa Paws, HART, or Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands, visit their showroom at 16917 Interstate 45 South, call 936-206-7500 or view their website at http://www.mbotw.com.
