The Humane Society of Ventura County (HSVC) is hosting its annual “Santa Paws” Pet Photos and Holiday Boutique from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Humane Society shelter, 402 Bryant Street, Ojai.

Have your family and your pet’s picture taken with Santa and do your holiday shopping while supporting the HSVC. All proceeds from vendor fees and Santa Paws Pet Photos will go directly to help the animals at the Shelter.

Photo registration starts at 10 a.m. Cost is $25 for one photo on a CD. For an additional donation receive several photos on CD that is ready that day. Adults and children are welcome in photos — with or without Santa. If you don't have a pet, just bring your children and avoid the long lines at the Mall.

The holiday boutique will feature a wide range of gifts for people and pets and a bake sale.Guests do not need to have photos taken to shop at the boutique. There will also be raffles, and pet readings and healing.

The photography is by Greg Cooper, professional photographer and instructor at Brooks Institute.
