Sponsored by Berkshire Mall, Roxwell Pets, and the Red Lion Inn, the Berkshire Mall Santa will be at Roxwell Pets in the Allendale Shopping Center in Pittsfield today from 3 to 7 p.m.
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., the Berkshire Mall Santa will be on the porch of the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge.
At both events, a photographer will be on hand to take a picture of your pet(s) sitting with Santa for a $10 donation. All proceeds go to fund medical care for the many animals at the Sonsini Shelter.
The Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter; it is run primarily by volunteers and plays a large role in caring for the unfortunate and unwanted pets in the county. In 2007, the shelter returned 192 lost cats and dogs to their homes, and found new homes for another 450.
These numbers are rising in 2008, as economic hard times hit both pet owners and pets. Through September of this year, the shelter had already returned 189 lost pets to their owners, and found new homes for 407 more.
The shelter is located at 63 Downing Parkway in the Downing Industrial Park, Pittsfield. For more information, call (413) 448-9800, e-mail eleanorsonsinishelter@yahoo.com
