The Humboldt SPCA had some furry 'elves' help Santa out at the Humboldt Mall on Saturday.

Adoptable puppies and dogs greeted mall visitors, who were welcome to have their pets' picture taken with the big guy in red.

The SPCA was also selling baked goods and Christmas treats as a Christmas fund-raising effort.

Visitors were able to fill out adoption applications with the SPCA for many pets in need of homes.
