Hello from the Bunt Family! Lucy the Cat (formerly Mystic), pictured with Willie. Lucy no longer has loose stool, or cacne (cat acne, under her chin)! Willie doesn’t mind that he’s no longer known as Ripley, or Montana. In fact, we’ve come to realize that he’s fairly deaf – unless he’s being asked to dinner or for a walk.
For the animals, all stress levels have seeped away. For our part, we’re lucky to have them. Thought you’d like to know.
Hi! I was the ten-year old girl with my family that adopted the two cats Koto and Feret. (Now known as Blaze) I wanted to write this letter to tell you about how greatly Blaze and Koto have changed since we adopted them. As I write this, Blaze lingers underneath my desk, rubbing against my hands and legs. Koto is upstairs, probably looking out a window or taking a nap. I can hardly believe these are the same cats that hid behind our couch the first night at their new home.
I just wanted to send you some pictures of Gracie (known to BHS as Hillary). I adopted her a little over a year ago. I am so happy that I drove 2 hours to get Gracie. She is the best cat ever!!
Thanks & enjoy the pictures!

Hi BHS,
Sadie, as I now call her, was difficult to get to pose for the camera! She took one week to the day to stay out long enough from under the bed to get some photos. But we are making great progress. She is eating well,using the litter box and has enjoyed being brushed daily.

Billy and Zoe are two cats I adopted from the Humane Society. Just wanted to drop by a picture of them and show you how well they are doing. Billy (left) adopted August 2006 and Zoe (right, previously Miley) adopted August 2008, are doing great and are best friends!! They love to be together and love to be around people, in fact, they follow me EVERYWHERE!!! They are two of the sweetest cats I’ve ever known and they never stop purring. They complete my family and I could not be happier with these two! Thanks!
Hi,
Slugger is settling in well. We are glad to have him. He had his vet visit today and is doing well. We hope you like the pictures.

I adopted Sammy in Feb. 2008. He has been such a delightful addition to our family. He is continually entertaining with his larger than life personality. He has really thrived since I adopted him. He enjoys frequent trips to the Greylock Glen and the Rail Trail in Adams, MA. He has completed a puppy obedience class and he has gained quite an extensive vocabulary.

Mother and son are doing quite well and I am so thankful to BHS for bringing them both into my life! I adopted Jasper through a satellite event in North Adams and subsequently made a visit to your Pittsfield facilities to bring Lila home. Please accept my sincere thanks for all the hard work and care you provide everyday.

This is Phoebe’s 1st week with us. She is such a lovable and sweet little girl. Phoebe had no problem adjusting to her new home. I think she was suppose to ours. She entertains hershelf and us. Doesn’t know which recliner she likes best , so she tries them both.

We just wanted to drop you a line to say that Emma is doing great. She loves to be outside chasing squirrels and going on long walks with our boys. Can’t say that the cat loves having her here but they are doing well with the potential of becoming great friends. Everything has fallen in place for all of us. Thanks for all of your help!

Dear BHS,
July 31st 2008 marked the 5 year anniversary of adopting Annie (then Sammy) my chocolate lab from your shelter. Adopting Annie was one of the best things I have ever done and I smile every day when I look at her.
We adopted our wonderful 7 year old lab, Scooby, back in March of this year. He has been an amazing addition to our family! This is our family’s first dog and we couldn’t be any more thrilled with Scooby.
I hope all is well with you and all your furry friends.
Needless to say, I’ve taken dozens and dozens of photos over the last month. She took to our house immediately and has been a real joy.
She weighed 4lb 8oz at her first vet visit Oct 16, and 5lb 2oz Nov 6 when she got her 3rd distemper shot.
Thank you and all the best, John and Jane MacGruer
The staff at BHS might remember Mango as “Buckwheat” but a new home, a fresh start , and new name. Mango is doing great !
He is a great addition to our family. We would like to thank everyone at BHS for all of their help (especially Lisa !) The best feeling is not when you adopt a dog, but when the dog adopts you.
Merry Christmas !

I adopted two beautiful tiger stripe senior male Manx cats, Timmy and
Toby, who had lived together, three weeks after I put my beloved cat
companion, Max, down to due illness. My heart was broken with grief.
These two boys have filled my home with so much joy. It feels as though
they were meant to be here. I saw them on line and immediately felt
drawn to them. When I met them in person at Berkshire Humane, that
feeling was confirmed. 
Berkshire Humane made the entire process so easy and I was also impressed by the level of care they give their pets.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Shelter Staff,
I wanted to give you an update on Peppermint Patty, now known as Eve. She is a playful, affectionate girl and is enjoying her new home and her role as much-adored only pet, as you can see from the attached pictures! Since she was adopted, she has grown considerably and recently got a clean bill of health from Dr. Tuttle.
