The holiday season for Bay Area pets doesn't have to mean reindeer headgear, elfin booties, and dreidel doggie biscuits—just let the San Francisco SPCA help you plan your pet-centric event calendar!

Macy's Believe Day: Holiday Windows Donation Matching
Each holiday season, Macy's devotes its street-level windows to the SF SPCA's adorable, adoptable kittens and pups—and next Friday is Believe Day, when Macy's will also match all your monetary donations!
