Adams Selectmen Continue Dog Hearing
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The Selectmen continued a public hearing on whether two dogs are a danger until Wednesday, March 4, because the owner was not present to provide his side of the situation at last week's board meeting.
The town will inform the owners via email and certified mail of the March 4 date, and police will serve them a notice.
The hearing was prompted by a complaint from Brianna Shepherd, who testified that on Nov. 25, 2025 the two dogs chased her; her children, ages 1 and 4; her sister, and her dog.
Shepherd said they were four houses down from the owners' property on Grandview, when the dogs, Penny and Mason, left their yard, "aggressively" charged at them unprovoked, and began to bite her dog.
Shepherd said her sister quickly put the 4-year-old into the stroller with the infant. As they attempted to get away, the dogs persisted in their attack on Shepherd's dog, which sustained multiple bruises, a broken toenail, and a cut paw.
Additionally, Shepherd's sister, who was eight weeks pregnant at the time, was also bitten, however the bite did not break the skin. The police were notified of the incident the following morning.
The animal control officer informed her that because this was an isolated incident and no skin was broken, that Shepherd should try to videotape the next time she sees the dogs off leash.
