IN SEARCH OF A Forever home for Ruby. Free purebred German Shepherd. Long black hair with brown socks.

1 year 3 months old. Spayed.

She is beautiful. 2 pups from the same litter are hard to handle and train. That is why she needs another home. She is a very sweet dog with people. She is a reactive barker to other dogs and people. She would do well with a fenced in yard with lots of play time. She is very smart. She comes to you when she is called and would be easy to train. There is much to love here. Interest or questions, 413-212-7638.

This handsome, tri-colored male guinea pig is Finny! Finny is a sweet but shy little guy who is here because his owners didn’t have time for him.

The staff at Berkshire Humane Society don’t know how old he is, beyond that he’s an adult. He’s been a bit nervous since his arrival but with consistent socialization, time and TLC, he’ll make a great, new addition to a home where he will receive all the love and time he requires. The shelter staff and volunteers have been working with him daily, letting him know the world isn’t such a scary place. Once he learns this, Finny will become a sociable fellow who will likely “wheek” for his veggies and greet you for pets. Interested in learning more about Finny?
