October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month - October 01, 2008
Pittsfield - October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! How better to celebrate than to adopt a dog that has been residing at the Berkshire Humane Society on Barker Road in Pittsfield for over a year. There are two such canines at the shelter, still hopeful that the right people will come in and take them to a home of their own.
Lisa Corbett, Canine Services Manager at BHS, says of these long term residents, “We want the public to know that we do keep adoptable animals for as long as it takes to find them the right home.” Not only does BHS provide shelter, food and medical care for these dogs while they wait for someone to adopt them, the dedicated staff gives each resident canine quality time daily that includes exercise, play, training, enrichment and lots of love added Corbett.
The longest term resident is Jed, a good’ol hound dog who just wants an owner who will let him fulfill what comes natural to a hound dog: sniff, explore, and get lots of petting along the way. The second dog is Charlie, who lives to fetch, fetch and fetch some more. He needs a very active owner who can keep up with his exercise needs. Did we mention he loves, loves, loves to fetch tennis balls and Kongs? If you're looking for a dog like Jed or Charlie, come visit these deserving dogs at Berkshire Humane Society!
The Berkshire Humane Society has been helping animals and people since 1992; they offer free humane education visits and tours for area school children, a community pet-food bank for economically distressed pet owners, and works in cooperation with The Elizabeth Freeman Center to provide foster care assistance for the pets of women in crisis through PetSafe. BHS receives no public funding and relies on memberships and donations to continue to help animals and people. In 2007, BHS adopted out 784 homeless animals from Berkshire County and its neighboring borders. 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 for staff meetings. The phone number is 413-447-7878 and website is www.berkshirehumane.org. |
