Everyone knows Santa Claus loves kids—but pets and Realtors too? Maybe.

Since he’s in town after his recent stop at Miller Children’s Hospital, the jolly fat man in red will be stopping by Taylor Young Real Estate & Investments in Long Beach to pay a visit to people and their animals in a pet photo session.

Taylor Young will have a photographer on hand to take photos of people’s pets sitting with Santa Claus from 10:00am-2:00pm this Saturday. The photos are free, but the company is asking for a donation of a non-perishable food item, which will be earmarked for a Long Beach area food bank.

“We thought it would be a great idea to combine two of our favorite things, pets and helping in the community,” said Lynnette Taylor, broker at Taylor Young Real Estate. “Everyone loves their pets and having a photo with Santa Claus would be a great thing to have for Christmas.”

The company asks that the pets be on leashes or in a pet carrier until it is time to take their photo with Santa Claus. Taylor Young, formerly the well-known real estate firm Century 21 Sparow-Shoreline, started as Lakewood Realty in 1967.

The office is at 5355 E. Carson St. in Long Beach. For more information call 562.496.3200.
