of the Tri-State Berkshires

Find Your New Best Friend From cats and dogs to small mammals and birds, Berkshire Humane Society is the place in Berkshire County to adopt your next companion animal.

Berkshire Humane Society HELPING ANIMALS AND PEOPLE SINCE 1992

Pet Partners was created to help pet owners care for their companion animals during times of economic stress, so their pets can remain in their home and not be surrendered to shelters or rescue groups.

PET PARTNERS PROVIDES:

Food for Needy Dogs and Cats Reduced Rate Spay/Neuter Assistance with Basic Veterinary Care Costs Donations can be made online through our donation page at www.petpartnersberkshires.org or by mail: Pet Partners, PO Box 67, West Stockbridge, MA 01266 Your donation is tax deductible and all donations go directly for the care of the animals.

For help or information call the Pet Partners Office:

Faith (518) 781-0362

Thank you for helping the animals.

Say hello to Bode! Bode is a super sweet, 5-year-old, affectionate boy. Here along with his housemates due to their owner passing away, he’s hoping for a new home with you! Bode has lived indoors only and would do best in an adult-only home as he does have an independent side. He’s the kind of cat who would just like to chill out at home. He’d be fine with other cats and could even go home with one of his housemates through the Berkshire Humane Society Buddy Program!
