KAILUA, HI. – Some 26 pet owners used the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Pictures with Santa Paws event at McKenna’s Windward Ford, Sunday, November 25, 2012, to obtain a professionally-taken picture with their pet and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

For a $30 donation pet owners received a CD containing a photo taken with their pet and Santa and Ms. Claus– seated in the truck bed of a new Ford F-150.

The dealership, which has donated $50 to the Hawaiian Humane Society for every new or certified pre-owned truck or car sold since November 15, 2010, has contributed more than $70,000 to HHS so far.  Additionally, customers who purchase the vehicles receive $50 in McKenna Bucks which can be used at the Hawaii Humane Society towards adoption fees, pet supplies, pet food and other items sold at the Society.

Honolulu City Councilmember Ikaika Anderson, Council District 3, recognized Mike McKenna (shown seated) for his Adopt-a-Pet events at the dealership and for the many programs conducted over the years to benefit the local community. Dealership general manager Jim Simington is shown, center.
