November 24, 2020 \u2014 December 2020 \u2014 January 3, 2021: San Francisco SPCA’s and Macy’s Holiday Windows<\/a><\/h3>\nIn an abnormal year, at least there is something wonderfully normal for the 2020 holiday season, bringing canine and feline holiday joy to San Francisco during Covid-19. The San Francisco SPCA and Macy\u2019s Union Square<\/a> are holding their 34th annual Holiday<\/span> Windows<\/span> will take place November 24 to January 3. Adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines, holiday<\/span> windows<\/span> will not be filled with adoptable animals, but special videos of rescue animals and SF SPCA shelter alumni. Union Square shoppers can check out the outrageously adorable puppy, dog, kitten and cat videos in the windows<\/span> at the corner of Stockton and O\u2019Farrell Streets, as well as on Macy\u2019s Floor 1. This year\u2019s windows<\/span> take the form of a thank-you letter to first responders, essential workers, marchers for equality and San Franciscans who showed their grit, good humor and hopeful spirit during a tumultuous year; Macy\u2019s will celebrate their undeniable spirit this holiday<\/span> season as part of the window displays.<\/p>\nThroughout the season several of the SF SPCA\u2019s Animal Assisted Therapy pets are making surprise visits at Macy\u2019s. These specially trained therapy animals, accompanied by a volunteer and handler, will definitely help spread holiday<\/span> cheer. For those looking to add a new furry family member this holiday<\/span> season, adoptions by appointment will continue at the SF SPCA\u2019s Mission Campus Adoption Center. On floors 1 \u2014 7 inside Macy\u2019s, shoppers can take selfies at four \u201cInstagrammable moment\u201d stations featuring giant cutouts of cats and dogs. Shoppers can learn about the animals\u2019 stories and share the holiday<\/span> joy with their friends by using hashtag #SFSPCAholiday. There will also be a holiday<\/span> selfie station at the SF SPCA\u2019s adoption center. Can\u2019t make it to Union Square? Enjoy cuteness from the comfort of your own home through the SF SPCA livestreams.

Adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines, holiday<\/span> windows<\/span> will not be filled with adoptable animals, but special videos of rescue animals and SF SPCA shelter alumni. Union Square shoppers can check out the outrageously adorable puppy, dog, kitten and cat videos in the windows<\/span> at the corner of Stockton and O\u2019Farrell Streets, as well as on Macy\u2019s Floor 1. This year\u2019s windows<\/span> take the form of a thank-you letter to first responders, essential workers, marchers for equality and San Franciscans who showed their grit, good humor and hopeful spirit during a tumultuous year; Macy\u2019s will celebrate their undeniable spirit this holiday<\/span> season as part of the window displays.<\/p>\nThroughout the season several of the SF SPCA\u2019s Animal Assisted Therapy pets are making surprise visits at Macy\u2019s. These specially trained therapy animals, accompanied by a volunteer and handler, will definitely help spread holiday<\/span> cheer. For those looking to add a new furry family member this holiday<\/span> season, adoptions by appointment will continue at the SF SPCA\u2019s Mission Campus Adoption Center. On floors 1 \u2014 7 inside Macy\u2019s, shoppers can take selfies at four \u201cInstagrammable moment\u201d stations featuring giant cutouts of cats and dogs. Shoppers can learn about the animals\u2019 stories and share the holiday<\/span> joy with their friends by using hashtag #SFSPCAholiday. There will also be a holiday<\/span> selfie station at the SF SPCA\u2019s adoption center. Can\u2019t make it to Union Square?

Because of the pandemic, many dog events have gone virtual, allowing you to attend some really cool canine events that you wouldn’t be able to in other years. Take advantage! You won’t regret it. Don’t see your December 2020 dog event or holiday observance here? Email us at dogstermag@belvoir.com.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Attend in person following safety protocols or check out the SF SPCA holiday cams!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In an abnormal year, at least there is something wonderfully normal for the 2020 holiday season, bringing canine and feline holiday joy to San Francisco during Covid-19. The San Francisco SPCA and Macy\u2019s Union Square<\/a> are holding their 34th annual Holiday<\/span> Windows<\/span> will take place November 24 to January 3. Adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines, holiday<\/span> windows<\/span> will not be filled with adoptable animals, but special videos of rescue animals and SF SPCA shelter alumni. Union Square shoppers can check out the outrageously adorable puppy, dog, kitten and cat videos in the windows<\/span> at the corner of Stockton and O\u2019Farrell Streets, as well as on Macy\u2019s Floor 1. This year\u2019s windows<\/span> take the form of a thank-you letter to first responders, essential workers, marchers for equality and San Franciscans who showed their grit, good humor and hopeful spirit during a tumultuous year; Macy\u2019s will celebrate their undeniable spirit this holiday<\/span> season as part of the window displays.<\/p>\n Throughout the season several of the SF SPCA\u2019s Animal Assisted Therapy pets are making surprise visits at Macy\u2019s. These specially trained therapy animals, accompanied by a volunteer and handler, will definitely help spread holiday<\/span> cheer. For those looking to add a new furry family member this holiday<\/span> season, adoptions by appointment will continue at the SF SPCA\u2019s Mission Campus Adoption Center. On floors 1 \u2014 7 inside Macy\u2019s, shoppers can take selfies at four \u201cInstagrammable moment\u201d stations featuring giant cutouts of cats and dogs. Shoppers can learn about the animals\u2019 stories and share the holiday<\/span> joy with their friends by using hashtag #SFSPCAholiday. There will also be a holiday<\/span> selfie station at the SF SPCA\u2019s adoption center. Can\u2019t make it to Union Square? Enjoy cuteness from the comfort of your own home through the SF SPCA livestreams.
