Macy's 27th Annual Holiday Windows Pet Adoption Campaign November 22, 2013

In the words of the holiday classic, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” at Macy’s in Union Square as the department store gets ready to feature adorable adoptables from the San Francisco SPCA during their 27th Holiday Windows event.

Knowing that there’s no place like home for the holidays, each year the San Francisco shopper’s paradise helps in the effort to give homeless companion animals the gift of a forever family by showcasing cuddly kitties and playful pups in their window displays. In 2012 almost 300 pets were adopted during the Holiday Windows event, and $80,000 was raised to support the San Francisco SPCA’s lifesaving programs.

“The Windows have become a true holiday tradition in San Francisco,” said Jason Walthall, SF SPCA Co-President. “We are incredibly grateful to Macy’s for their ongoing generosity and partnership. This event allows us to find homes for animals in need while also educating the public about animal welfare issues that impact San Francisco.”

“Macy’s is proud to continue the annual tradition of the SF SPCA Holiday Windows,” said Rise Hixson, Visual Manager at Macy’s Union Square. “Every year there is a building excitement in our store in the weeks before we welcome the puppies and kittens into the windows. I fall in love with at least one pet every year. It’s easily my favorite window display because of the joy it brings to so many.”

This year’s Holiday Window event will be unleashed November 22nd at 5 p.m., with cast members from Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon awarded the honor of unveiling the displays.

Animal lovers are invited to get into the holiday spirit by volunteering for two hour shifts to greet the public and take donations.

During the annual event the SF SPCA will also be waiving the adoption fees for animals adopted on weekdays from the permanent SF SPCA Adoption Center at 250 Florida Street.
