The Sioux City Animal Adoption and Rescue Center hosted its 2nd annual "Bunnies and Buddies" photoshoot on Saturday.
The photoshoot gave people the chance to get their "Easter" picture taken with their own pet or with a baby animal from the center.
"We have a tortoise. We have a hare. We have two goats and a lamb. Also some chickens. So, it's been a lot of fun. The kids have a ball doing it and we enjoy doing it with them," said Cindy Rarrat with the Adoption and Rescue Center.
The shoot will also go on Sunday, March 3rd from Noon until 4 p.m. and Saturday, March 9th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
