Santa Paws Photos Benefit Kent Animal Shelter

Pets can be as beloved as children -- and dressing them up for a holiday photo a time-honored yearly tradition.

On Sunday, Kent Animal Shelter will host photos with "Santa Paws" at Martha Clara Vineyards -- a pet-friendly establishment -- from 11 a.m till 2 p.m.

Guests can bring their four-legged friend for a photo with Santa Paws, or pose with an adoptable Kent pet -- and Santa.

Santa Paws will pose with humans and furry friends. In addition, the tasting room will be open with live music; a $10 donation per photo will go to help Kent Animal Shelter care for many homeless pets.

Guests are suggested to dress warmly as the line for photos is outside and photos are taken in an unheated barn.
