BUN BUN--RIP
Bun Bun was our clinic mascot. He came to us when his previous home could no longer keep him. Bun Bun helped oversee daily operations here at PVH, and he also helped clients and staff relax with some bunny cuddles. Unfortunately, BUN BUN passed on in August 2019. The clinic seems emptier without him.
