Paws for the Holidays

The Pierce House will open its doors on Sunday, Nov. 12 from 11 a.m.–4 p.m., decorated for the holidays and filled with hot chocolate, cookies, popcorn, live music, holiday baskets, arts and crafts, silent auction items and pet supplies. The event benefits Phinney’s Friends, a Lincoln-based nonprofit that helps low-income people keep their pets in times of hardship. The mansion is dog-friendly, and there will be a room with activities for children. Santa will be available for pictures with families and their dogs. The festival will also offer items handmade by Phinney’s Friends volunteers. For more information, leave a message at 617-979-8705 or email phinneysfriends@gmail.com.
