Santa will be in town to help the Humane Society of Ventura County raise much needed funds for Shelter Animals. He’ll be posing for portraits with Ventura County pets and family members. Photographing “Santa Paws,” will be professional photographer and Brooks Institute Professor Greg Cooper who will donate his services to help the Humane Society feed, spay and neuter, and place homeless animals in need. Also volunteering his time to help the animals is Chuck Bowman, our favorite “Santa.”

Photo sittings will include several poses with pets and/or their family members. Participants and pets are encouraged to dress festively for the Holiday Season. The cost for “Santa Paws” photo sittings is $20 and includes a CD of your portraits which will be ready approximately 15 minutes after portraits are taken.

All proceeds will benefit homeless animals throughout Ventura County who are awaiting adoption at the Humane Society Shelter and Adoption Center, Ventura County’s LOCAL animal shelter.

The event is first come, first served, no reservations required. Sunday, December 4th, Santa will be at the Marriott Hotel at 2055 East Harbor Blvd in Ventura from 10am until 3pm. On Sunday, December 11th, he’ll be at the Humane Society of Ventura County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center at 402 Bryant Street in Ojai.
