Story
**Harley (Tan/White Scruffy) and Maggie (Pug Mix) have lived together and could again if someone is open to adopting both of them! They are currently available for adoption separately and are happy living without the other, too!**- Harley is a super sweet little lady who loves to be with her people!- Loves to go out into the pen for romp about time with her counterpart, Maggie, but would prefer to be the only dog otherwise- Can be a bit barky, so a house environment is needed (no shared walls)- Prefer a more quiet lifestyle with minimal foot traffic in and out- Harley can be a bit anxious, so she is on long-term anti-anxiety medication, which has been helpful!- Love to go out for walks and is doing well on house training here in the shelter!- Crate trained and will need to be crated when their humans leave the house- Need fun activities to keep her brain stimulated, as she will make their own `fun` if she`s bored- Food motivated and easy to train- Has lived successfully with cats and could again as long as the kitties don`t mind a dog that wants to play!Weight: 16.5 lbs.Dogs (other than Maggie): No, thank youCats: Dog savvy cats, this girl is playful!Kids: Teens and olderIf you would like more information about us or how to go about adopting either one or both of us, please ask kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126!

Story
- Very sweet girl, loves meeting everyone and anyone- Extremely active! Would make a great adventure buddy and is very cuddly once her exercise needs have been met- Still working on house training and will need continued work with this in her new home - Super food motivated and very willing to learn- No cats or small animals, has a prey drive - Likes to `sing the song of her people` (can be a bit vocal) so a home setting with no shared walls would be best - Could potentially live with another male dog her size or larger, no females please - Could live in a home with kids 8+- Has some anxiety and is currently on medication which is helping her- Would benefit from crate training. She`s not a fan so far, but with an owner who works consistently with her, she could be successful long-termDogs: Could have potential playdates with goofy male dogs, pending a successful meet and greet, her size or bigger. But should be only dog in home (no female dogs please)Cats: No, thank youKids: 8+Weight: 35lbs.If you are interested in more information about how to meet/adopt Princess, please reach out to kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or by email at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org

Story
- Buddy is a real ladies man looking for a home to call his own!- He was initially adopted from Berkshire Humane Society as a pup and through no fault of his own, had to come back to us after his owner lost housing. - He loves to be outdoors and smelling all the sniffs he can whiff! - If you`re looking for a pup that loves to play and chat back and forth with you, Buddy is your guy! - He can be a bit fearful of new people, specifically men, but when introduced by someone he knows in a larger space, he warms up quickly. Especially if cookies are involved!- Buddy is fully house trained!- Very food motivated and learns quickly- Needs a home with no shared walls since he likes to vocalize all his feelings- Would do best with teens and older- If you`re looking for your next adventure buddy, then Buddy might be the perfect fit!If you are interested in more information about how to meet/adopt Buddy, please reach out to kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or by email at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org

Story
*THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. PLEASE CONTACT KENNEL STAFF TO SET UP A MEET AND GREET*- Glo`s Adoption Fee has been generously sponsored by NBT Bank, Pittsfield!Glo has been living it up in her foster home. She adores people and learning. Her foster mom reports that her favorite part of going for walks is greeting all of her fans and handing out kisses. Glo has never met a stranger and assumes all humans (even the little ones) are AWESOME! She is happy to greet everyone (mostly) politely and soak in all of the praise and pets. Her foster mom has worked with her to teach her all about polite greetings and how to be gentle around children. Because she lives her life with full enthusiasm, we don`t think she would do well living with smaller children, but would probably enjoy them as visitors. Especially if they let her clean their faces. With her favorite people, Glo can get overexcited. Her foster mom has been working hard to teach her to calm down when she gets worked up. Her polite greetings have improved tremendously! With some good boundaries and lots of positive training, Glo has learned the value of just hanging out with her people. She has learned how to snuggle and will do so at every opportunity, often falling asleep that way. Glo is house-trained and crate-trained and will sleep in her crate overnight (or the bed, if you let her) and will relax in her crate while her people are out of the house. Glo is a high-energy, people-focused dog. Her best home would be with someone who likes to do things with her. She is very smart and loves to learn new things. She adores neighborhood walks and hiking.  Recently, she visited the lake and splashed in the water. She mostly wants to be with her people doing things together. She does require a lot of stimulation to be happy, so she`s not a great dog for someone who works long hours. When her needs are met, she`s an excellent companion. Glo would do best as the only pet in a home. She has some prey drive that is well controlled on walks, but it still appears in the yard and around the house. She loves to find and chase the squirrels and chipmunks. She will go over a four-foot barrier when chasing something, so even with a fenced-in yard, you will need to watch her closely before you can trust that she will respect the fence. Her reactivity around other dogs has improved tremendously in her foster home. She can walk in town past other dogs or sit politely while they pass. When she is already overexcited, or if the other dogs bark or lunge at her, it gets much harder for her. She continues to improve every day. Glo has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. She is not currently a candidate for surgery, but that may change as she ages. She is well managed with careful exercise and supplements recommended by the vet. She needs long walks and should limit any high-impact exercise. We are happy to share educational material and her veterinary records with any potential adopters so they know what`s going on and what to expect going forward.TLDR: If you are looking for an amazing dog friend that loves walks and being with her people, Glo might be right for you. She should be the only pet and has some medical concerns. Please reach out for an application if you are interested. It`s time for Glo to find her forever home!Weight: 50lbs.Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: 8 Years Old and UpIf you are interested in more information about how to meet/adopt Glo, please reach out to kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or by email at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org
