October as the national “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month” - October 05, 2007
The Berkshire Humane Society is celebrating man’s best friend and bringing attention to the need for loving homes for shelter dogs by adopting their “Pound Hounds” on a “Pay What They Weigh” basis. “This is Berkshire Humane Society’s way of highlighting October as the national “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month” throughout the United States” says Lisa Corbett, canine Supervisor at the shelter.
The normal fees for canine adoptions range from $110 to $150, but during this month for example, you can adopt “Oscar” our Bull Mastiff mix for $80 and you can adopt “Phoebe” our Chow mix for $45 added Corbett.
Berkshire Humane Society will also be entering each adoptive family’s name into a raffle for a grand prize of a customized dog bed. There will be many more chances of prizes for the families of the dog dogs adopted during October. All adoptions at BHS include spay/neuter surgery, all vaccinations, micro-chipping, free health exams by local veterinarians, pet health insurance for one month and discounts to area pet supply stores as well as a discount to the BHS Family Dog School.
The Berkshire Humane Society is an open admission shelter, providing refuge for homeless animals in Berkshire County, free educational programs for local school children, a pet-food bank for economically distressed pet owners, and assistance for The Elizabeth Freeman Center in providing women with a safe haven for their pets during crisis. BHS receives no public funding and relies on memberships and donations to continue to help animals and people. The shelter is open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm, Thursday evenings 5-8pm, and Sundays 1-4pm. The shelter closes at noon on the last Wednesday of each month. The phone number is 413-447-7878. |
