Daisy the dog has been at Berkshire Humane Society for over a year! (She hit one year on January 29′th.) We are throwing her a party and recognizing her stay. There’ll be food and fun! It’ll be held at…
The following video was made by Daisy herself, so she could share with everyone what her days here at the shelter are like!

Daisy, and many dogs before her, have spent quite a long time at BHS. (Jed, Charlie, and Jingles all spent over a year! Tucker, Ziba, Corky, and Barnaby all spent 6 months or more.) Often times, their stay is longer than usual because they’re waiting to find a special family for their unique needs. Daisy is doing just that! Call the shelter, send us an e-mail, or stop on down to find out more about Daisy!
UPDATE: Barnaby has been ADOPTED!! This post is being left up so others can still enjoy it.
A rare and magnificent animal is currently residing in our facility, in search of a new habitat: the last remaining Barnabias known to man.
Here is a profile of this endangered species:
Common Name: Barnaby Scientific Name: Barnabias bashfulias Height: 60 cm Weight: Males, about 32 kg. Females, unknown Natural Habitat: Living rooms and couches of the Southern United States History: This once-prevalent species was first discovered by a Floridian exploration team. The gentle, bashful animals roamed the landscape in search of snacks and comfy chairs. They were prized for their obscenely soft ears and uniquely marked coats. Scientists have not yet uncovered the cause of their near extinction.
Below is a video documentary, chronicling the life of the last known Barnabias. (Be sure to turn your speakers on, and to read the captions in a crisp British accent.)

Back in 2008, Berkshire Humane Society encouraged MA citizens to Vote Yes on 3 and phase out greyhound racing in Massachusetts by 2010. The state voted and it was a win for the dogs!
Now 2010 is here and the racing tracks are closing! This means lots of these amazing pups are in need of new homes.
Greyhound Friends, located in Hopkinton, has many former racers up for adoption, including some from the most recently closed track, Raynham. You can see their adoptable pups here. If you’re not in MA, you can find other organizations with adoptables through AdoptAGreyhound . If you’d like to help out in a way that doesn’t involve walking or poop-scooping, check out Greyhound Friends’ wish list (Scroll all the way to the bottom for the list).
Thank you, Massachusetts, for helping to end greyhound racing and bringing these wonderful dogs into new homes.
Well, she recently moved to our nation’s capital! That’s right, Z is on to new things and enjoying daily adventures at the dog park and her new friends in Washington D.C.!
We’re all so happy to see Ziba’s doing well in her new digs! Thanks again to Z’s family for keeping us in the loop. What a lucky girl she is to have you!
The BHS staff love hearing about how our alumni are doing (and getting to see photos!), so if you’ve got your own alumni update or pics, don’t hesitate to send them in
