But Petsmart Santa proceeds go to Charity 
We go Petsmart Santa!
We go Petsmart Santa!
We used a mall entrance that's straight from outside and goes right to where the Santa's Village thing is set up, but there wasn't any rule about which entrance to use as far as I could see... there were dogs FAR bigger than Auggie waiting to have their pics taken, too! Ahead of us was this gorgeous brindle mixed breed, SO pretty and so sweet. I couldn't see her photos, but I'm not sure if she got into Santa's lap, ROFL.
$5 goes directly to the rescue doing the Santa photos. A local rescue/shelter. The whole $5. The other $4.95 pays for the cute acrylic frames you get with the pics. None goes to "Petsmart charities," which I'm sure some goes to the HSUS and what-not.
It's our rescue's biggest fundraiser of the entire year, by far, our Petsmart photos. We get a huge amount of money! It's the rescue volunteers doing the photos, too. Nothing evil about Petsmart Santa photos-- Believe me, I'm the first one to tell you Petsmart Charities is not something you want to donate to...
I would imagine that the money still goes to the shelter/rescue that has animals in the store. Sometimes there aren't any volunteers that can do photos in the store, but the money still goes to the rescues. I would imagine it works the same way there, unless there are different distric/regional policies... Either way, I totally wouldn't blame you for not going, if it doesn't go directly to the local organizations.
