Santa Claus took a few minutes outs of his busy schedule and stopped by the office of Keller Williams Realty Los Alamitos, to visit and take photos with local pets.  A fundraising event for KW Cares and the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (GSROC), more than 40 pets and a few human friends sat with Santa and whispered what they wanted for Christmas.

The GSROC brought three of their dogs by to visit and had volunteers answering questions about the organization. Snacks were provided for the pets but not for Santa Claus. Santa also got to visit with some local army personal and he thanked them for all they did.

“We thought it would be a great idea to combine two of our favorite things, pets and helping in the community,” said Robin Auwerda, an agent at KW Los Alamitos. “Everyone loves their pets and having a photo with Santa Claus would be a great thing to have for holidays. We figured having a small donation to help these two organizations would be a great way to help in the community during these hard economic times.”
