You can’t have a Santa Paws fundraiser without including Santa Claus himself, and the jolly old elf was his usual jolly old self during the Santa Paws Bash to support Good Shepherd Humane Society on Saturday, Dec. 9, at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. Rumor has it that Bill Ott was there, too, but sources say he was never spotted in the same room as Santa. Cole Wakefield, Good Shepherd’s executive director, said the event was a ‘resounding success.’
