Nikki Kellogg, small animal technician at BHS, said “The event is in conjunction with 3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue for all rabbit lovers and those interested in celebrating the wonderful, intelligent, social companion animal; the Rabbit. There will be several raffles, including one for a gift Basket from Leif Petwerks, one for a pair of Webkinzâ rabbits and a dog Webkinzâ, and one for Oxbow Bunny Basics-T feed pellets as well as Oxbow Orchard Grass Hay courtesy of Oxbow Hay Company. The featured speaker will be Dr. Michelle Looney, DVM of Pittsfield Veterinary Hospital; her talk will begin at 11am on the topic of general care and husbandry of rabbits. The event will be filled with fun; including a huge bake sale, jewelry and crafts goods, face painting and vendors of bunny related items. Proceeds and donations will go to BHS and the 3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue Inc. There will be bunnies from the 3 Bunnies foster program available for adoption along with rabbits currently available at BHS. Rabbit care information; nail clipping, gender identification, bonding advice and much more information will also be available during the event. The Berkshire Humane Society is an open admission shelter, providing refuge for homeless animals in Berkshire County, free educational programs for local school children, a pet-food bank for economically distressed pet owners, and assistance for The Elizabeth Freeman Center in providing women with a safe haven for their pets during crisis.
