Kate Ravielli and her son Rahim, 4, posed with Santa and their Pitbull “Belly,” a graduate of the Warwick Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter. As a side note, the dog’s original name was “Scully,” but Rahim found it easier to say ”Belly" and that’s how it will be. (

Once again a large number of pet owners lined up at the Warwick Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter last weekend for the annual “Pet photos with Santa" event.
Once again a large number of pet owners lined up at the Warwick Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter on Saturday, Nov. 23, and Sunday, Nov. 24.
It was the annual “Pet photos with Santa” event and photographer Kimberly Standish was on hand to take photos of pets sitting on Santa’s lap.
Suzyn Barron, president of the Warwick Valley Humane Society, and Vice President Celia Ross served as “Santa’s helpers” by doing whatever it takes to make each pet pose for the camera.
Proceeds will be used to benefit the homeless pets at the shelter.
