Story
*My adoption fee has been waived as part of the SUMMER RUFF-FRESHER: a fee-waived adoption event for all dogs over 1 year old through June 29th with an approved application.*Hello everyone! My name is Lily and I`m a 5-year-old girl looking for someone to take me on lots of adventures! I love to be outside and love to play tug-of-war with my rope toys. Are you interested in finding a companion who wants to always be by your side and helping you tackle whatever the world throws at you? Then look no further, because I`m right here just waiting for someone to take me home to love me forever and in return, I`ll always be there for snuggles and so many kisses! I love to go outside for walks and would make a magnificent hiking partner! I can be a bit dog selective when meeting canine friends, but a fun guy for me to knock around with could be fun, although I should not live with cats. I love people and will do everything I can to be the perfect dog for you! If you are interested in learning more about me or how to meet and take me home, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126.Weight: 60lbs.Dogs: Maybe a male, pending a dog introductionCats: NoKids: 8 years+

Story
*My adoption fee has been waived as part of the SUMMER RUFF-FRESHER: a fee-waived adoption event for all dogs over 1 year old through June 29th with an approved application.*Hello! My name is Emily and I’m one lovely lady! I absolutely adore people. So much so, I’m a bit of a “space invader”. So if you enjoy your personal space, I may not be the girl for you. I arrived at Berkshire Humane Society due to my previous owner experiencing housing issues. Now, I’m looking for a retirement home to call my own. I’m a very sweet and social gal who loves to meet new people and spend time receiving all the attention I can muster up. I enjoy short, easy-going walks and I don’t require a huge amount of exercise. I can’t live with kitty cats, and would prefer a home with teens and older. Although I`m dog social and don`t mind going out on walks with dog friends, I may need to be the only dog in the home. I require a special diet which kennel staff here at the shelter can discuss with anyone who may be interested in adopting me. If you have a quiet home where I can relax the day away, please reach out to the kennel staff to see if I’m the perfect match for you!

Story
Freya`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!Hallå! I`m Freya and true to my name, I`m a goddess of love! Going outside for walks and romps in the pen and playing in the water are just some of my favorite activities. I can be a bit wary of new people at first, but I warm up quickly, especially if you have snack to help sweeten the deal for me. I was brought to Berkshire Humane Society when my previous housemate (another unspayed adult female) and I would get into scuffles, usually resulting in minor injuries for me, and our owner could not manage keeping us separate anymore. Since coming to the shelter, I`ve made many human friends, but need a home without any other dogs or cats. I settle nicely in my kennel with an occupier, but can be a tad vocal when I can see my people from my kennel, but can`t get to them. What can I say? I just want to be with my human friends as much as possible! Things I`ve learned since I`ve been at the shelter - sit, down, heel and rollover!If you think I could be a good fit for your family, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 to learn more about me and how to meet and take me home!Freya`s first Family Dog School class have been graciously sponsored by two donors!Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: Teens & upWeight: 46lbs.

Story
*My adoption fee has been waived as part of the SUMMER RUFF-FRESHER: a fee-waived adoption event for all dogs over 1 year old through June 29th with an approved application.*Good golly, I’m Molly! I’m a pretty black and white terrier mix who`ll steal your heart for the win. I start out shy at first, but will warm up quickly and show you how I’m game for adventure. I’m a total team player with other dogs and could go home to one after a successful meet and greet. Cats are out of bounds, though. Due to my youthful exuberance when I open up, I’d score in a home with a family with people at least 13 years old. I’m a sure bet for the right home. It`s madness to overlook my star qualities! For more information about me or how to begin the adoption process, please contact kennel staff at Berkshire Humane Society - (413) 447-7878 ext. 126.Dogs: Requires dog introductionCats: NoKids: 13+Weight: 58 lbs.

Story
🖤 Meet HARLEY 🖤 2 y/o male Dalmatian. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, fully vetted. Came to me at 28 lbs, covered in sores. Now 64 lbs, healthy, happy, and full of life. 🚫 Not for first-time dog owners, not due to behavioral issues due to the needs of the Dalmatian breed. 🚫 Not an apartment dog 🚫 Not for people gone 8+ hrs/day ✅ Needs fenced yard or acres (walks are NOT enough) ✅ Needs another playful dog ✅ Needs someone home often or someone that can take him ✅ Needs to stay on prescription urinary care food (~$100/bag every 3 wks) Harley is potty trained, great with dogs, kids, cats, and loves fetch. No long crate periods he was abused in one and still gets anxious. He’s goofy, smart, loyal, and loves being close to his person. Dalmatians are high-energy, high-maintenance, and need purpose. He’s not for everyone but if you’re the right fit he’ll be your best friend. Please do your research on the breed and their health issues and exercise needs before you consider one!

Story
Beethoven`s adoption fee is waived, thanks to a generous donor! Good day, my name is Beethoven and similar to my namesake, I am quite the musical guy! I loooove to sing and can be a little exuberant in my vocal exercises, so a house setting would be best for my new home. That said, I sing mostly because I want to be with my people and don`t really like being left behind. Talk about Fear Of Missing Out, am I right? I`m not at all destructive, I`m fully housetrained and will eventually settle down and take a nap, especially if I have a stuffed Kong or other sort of occupier to take my mind off that I`d much rather be out having adventures with my humans. I love to go out on walks, cavort around in the pen and would make a wonderful hiking buddy! I have a high prey drive when anything moves fast, so I would prefer to go home with no other animals. I`m a solid guy, both physically and emotionally, but I`m also a giant smush and love to receive affection from anyone and everyone. What can I say? I`m the life of your next party, if you`ll give me that chance to really show you how much fun I can be! If your idea of a party is hanging out and watching true crime documentaries with wine and pizza, I`m also down for that too! Whatever you want to do, as long as you share some pizza crust with me every once in a while. I`ve lived with kids before and could potentially live with kids 10+ again. Could I be the perfect new family member for your life?Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: 10+Weight: 79.7 lbs.Please contact kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 to learn more about me and how to take me home!His first obedience class in Family Dog School has been sponsored by Haddad Subaru as well as a year`s worth of food once adopted!
