You don’t have to leave your pets out of the holiday festivities. The Gwinnett County Animal Shelter is holding free pet photos with holiday characters Saturday, a press release says.

Among those characters is “everyone’s favorite holiday grouch,” the Grinch, according to Stacie Miller, marketing coordinator for Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement.

You don’t need to pay to get a photo, just bring some pet food to donate.
