Story
Adoptable in: MAGood with dogs: Yes (with proper introductions)Good with cats: Yes, dog-savvy catsGood with kids: Yes, dog-savvy kidsCrate trained: YesHouse trained: YesMeet Odie: 4 Years Old, 90% Certified Good Boy (10% Mischevious Pony)Odie Bruiser is a tan and white pointer mix with movie-star good looks, professional-level enthusiasm, and absolutely no idea what personal space means.Despite the name “Bruiser", Odie’s toughest opponent is probably a closed door separating him from his people. He’s a lovable goofball who approaches life with one philosophy: Why walk when you can dramatically gallop?Odie’s résumé includes: Expert Snuggler: Will happily assist with all couch-related activities. Neighborhood Watch Captain: Squirrels, suspicious leaves, and delivery trucks have all been put on notice. Personal Trainer: Your daily step count is about to improve whether you like it or not. Professional Shadow: Going to the kitchen? Odie is coming. Bathroom? Also coming. Just standing up for no apparent reason? He’d like to be involved. Zero Concept of His Own Size: Odie firmly believes he is a small, delicate lap dog. Your lap may disagree. Odie does not care. At 4 years old, Odie has moved beyond the tiny-puppy-chaos stage, but still has plenty of energy for walks, adventures, playtime, and whatever important business requires sniffing (and licking) every blade of grass on the block.Odie is fully house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash with minimal corrections. He would likely try to engage a cat in play and hasn't met any in a few years so he would do best in a no cat or dog-savvy cat home. He also gets very excited when meeting new dogs so proper introductions (going for a side-by-side walk outside to meet on neutral territory) help him to remember his manners. Because Odie bounces like Tigger and likes to jump up to say hello he would do best in a home with older or dog-savvy kiddos.Odie Bruiser is looking for a family that appreciates a handsome dog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and the firm belief that every household decision should involve him.*Odie is part of our Foster to Adopt (FTA) program for prescription kibble.*Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at www.lasthopek9.org.

Story
- Can be shy when meeting new people but comes out of his shell fairly quickly- Is not a huge fan of overhandling and snuggles. Was not handled a lot in his previous home, so is slowly getting used to being loved on by staff here at the shelter. - Would do best with an owner with patience. Once Bear gets to know you, he is your best buddy!- Huge goofball with a big personality - Very toy motivated! He loves to carry his `babies` around to show them off to his humans!- Has been house trained here in the shelter and was reportedly house trained in his previous home. When adjusting to a new home, he might need a quick refresher as he learns his new schedule.- Enjoys the great outdoors and loves nothing more than going on hikes and adventures!- Would do best in a home with an owner willing to work on training and basic obedience as he was not given a lot of instruction in his previous home- Would do best in a home setting with no shared walls, as sometimes he likes to be vocal and `sing the song of his people`!Weight: 63lbs.Dogs: PendingCats: NoKids: Teens and olderIf you are interested in more information about how to meet/adopt Bear, please reach out to kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or by email at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org

Story
Meet Sherman! 🐾❤️ Sherman has been loving life in foster, and the more time he has to settle in, the more his sweet personality shines! Once he settles in, he’s an affectionate cuddle bug who loves belly rubs, scratches, and sleeping in bed with his people. Sherman can be a lazy boy at times, and is often found lounging on the bed, but don’t let that fool you, he also loves to play, and occasionally gets the zoomies! He’s smart and food motivated — he quickly figured out a food puzzles and loves lick mats. We think he’d have a blast learning tricks with his forever family. Bonus, he is fully house trained, and lets you know when he needs to go out by heading toward the door. Like many young dogs, Sherman has some puppy behaviors, like trying to play with items that are not toys. Fortunately, he responds well to redirection with toys, and yummy treats! A fenced yard would be ideal for Sherman so he can safely run and explore. He would do best with a family willing to be patient as he continues coming out of his shell, and ideally one that is home more often to give him the love, attention, enrichment, and guidance he deserves. Give this sweet boy a little time, and you’ll discover just how special he is! ❤️🐶 🌟 Sherman does have an old knee injury, likely a previous CCL tear. After further evaluation with our vet partners, surgery is now recommended. Baypath Humane Society will be covering the cost of his surgery, which is expected to take place later this year once he has had a chance to settle into his forever home.
