Welcome to the Berkshire Humane Society
For hours of operation and information regarding adoptions & surrenders,
please scroll down to the bottom of this page.
Our Mission
The Berkshire Humane Society (BHS) is a private, nonprofit, open-admission animal support organization with a twofold mission:
-
to ensure the compassionate care, treatment, and whenever possible, placement of homeless animals through the shelter operation, and
-
to promote and improve the welfare of all animals through community education and outreach
No companion animal is turned away from BHS, and there is no restriction on the length of time that any adoptable companion animal is allowed
to remain at the shelter. Some are with us for only days before they are adopted. Others may remain at the shelter for many months before they find
their forever homes.
Please click this link to find out more About Us.
And please explore our website. We have up-to-date lists (with photos) of all the animals available for adoption
(cats,
dogs, and
small animals),
information about our programs and services, and a list of all our exciting Upcoming Events.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.
Featured Animals of the Week
THIS WEEK'S FEATURED DOG: PONGO

Age: 2 Years
Breed: Husky Greyhound
Sex: Male
Size: 75 Pounds
About me: I came to the shelter after my owner lost her housing. Although many huskies can be rather aloof, I am quite people-oriented once I warm up to you. I am an energetic fellow who knows basic commands and enjoys giving kisses. I am good on a leash, and very playful; I can be a bit vocal, and I howl like a husky! I have lived with another dog and am good with kids. Please note that my lush coat will need daily brushing.
THIS WEEK'S FEATURED CAT: SUZIE

Arrival Date: March 27th
Age: 13 years
Sex: Spayed Female
Breed: Tiger and White DSH
About me: Wouldn't you love to take this sweet older gal home? Who says an older cat can't
give you the same love and companionship a younger cat can? We sure don't think so!!
Suzie is a nice quiet cat that lived with adults only so a quiet home
with a nice window for her to sit in would suit her best. Her only downfall is that she
doesn't care for other cats so she would prefer to be the queen of her castle. If you think you could give Suzie
the love she is craving maybe you could adopt her today?

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED BUNNY: ARTHUR

Arrival Date: May 6th
Age: ~1 year
Sex: Male
Breed: Dark brown and white Mini Lop
Say hello to Arthur! This adventurous and gregarious fellow is definitely
quite the character. Arthur is friendly with an absolutely great personality and seems
to be another rabbit that adapts well to new situations. Due to his adventurous personality
he will need a home that will provide him with extra playtime and
activity time because he is one busy guy! If you think you have the home environment
this happy fellow would love to explore then stop by and meet him today!
