It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That’s right, the holiday season is upon us, and you know what that means: It’s time to break out your most festive holiday wear and gather the family ’round for the hilariously awkward photoshoot that will become your holiday card.

Join Bushwick Bark for its 14th annual Awkward Family Pet Photoshoot and Fundraiser on Saturday, December 6th. Grab your pets, your ugly sweaters, and come party with us for a good cause!

The details:

• The event will be at The Windjammer bar in Ridgewood (5-52 Grandview Avenue)
• It starts at 2 p.m. and will end at 7 p.m.
• The proceeds will benefit Badass Animal Rescue and Whiskers a Go-Go so that we can continue our missions of finding dogs and cats their furever homes
• There’ll be raffles, cool drink deals, and more fun ways to party and contribute to a good cause
