Want your pet to have a Merry Christmas and help the animals at the Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter at the same time? There's a picture perfect way to accomplish both: have your pets' picture taken with Santa. There are two "Santa Paws" events coming up in December, sponsored by Berkshire Mall, Roxwell Pets, and the Red Lion Inn.

On December 5, from 3-7 pm, the Berkshire Mall Santa will be at Roxwell Pets in the Allendale Shopping Center in Pittsfield.

On December 10, from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, the Berkshire Mall Santa will be on the porch of the famous 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 that was voted “Best Place in the Berkshires to Get a Pet” this year. The shelter 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 or e-mail eleanorsonsinishelter@yahoo.com. General info and pictures of animals currently available for adoption can be obtained from its web site, www.pittsfieldanimals.org.
