Story
***BISCUIT IS LOCATED IN FOSTER CARE IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE*** From the foster: Hi I’m Biscuit! Im the cutest little guy and do not shed! I give the BEST kisses. With a little patience you will earn my trust and see how cool of a guy I really am! I’m pretty funny, too! I like to “talk” while I eat my meals. (I have a lot to say!!) I’m learning to play with toys but love to play with my foster siblings! (The cats are my favorite!!) I love a good snuggle and will curl right up next to you! I do well going potty outside as long as I’m brought out in time. Im learning to walk on a leash but it’s still all so new to me! I sleep through the night and don’t have accidents overnight. I’m a one-of-a-kind boy and would be so happy to be loved by you! Biscuit will stay on the smaller side (we estimate 25-35 lbs when full grown) General Information: Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are about 9-10 weeks, born around mid-November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she will also be available for adoption soon. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby ad Belle) staying smaller than the others – but generally we believe they will stay around 40 lbs. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of 1/19/25 Baby – Male Runt – 7.5 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 4.4 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 10.2 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 11.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. Biscuit – Male – 11.1 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 11.3 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. Biscuit is neutered, current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and has received a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.

Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are 15 weeks old, born around the end of November 2024.

We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby and Belle) staying smaller than the others, under 30 lbs. The bigger pups around 40 lbs. MOST OF THESE BABIES ARE LONG IN BODY SO WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME BASSETT/DACHSHUND MIX. We do also believe they have different dads given their massive coat and weight differences. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs.

Meet me, Amalia! I am a happy pup who loves cuddle sessions and some play time. My absolute favorite spot to nap is on the couch. I enjoy other dogs, great on rides and pretty good on leash too! My foster mom takes me on lots of adventures to the lake house and to meet humans big and small. Sometimes I am a little shy but doesn't last too long. I am crate trained but would prefer to be in the room with humans at bedtime.

Story
Hi everyone, my name is Cookie! I came to Berkshire Humane Society when my owner had too many animals in the home. That said, I`m a well-adjusted little guy and boy, do I have a lot of spunk and sparkle! Not to brag, but kennel staff tell me all the time what a smart little cookie I am and how quickly I pick up on training. I`m incredibly food motivated and love to learn. I am working on my house training here at the shelter, but I was mostly house trained in my previous home, so staff are confident that with someone to provide structure and consistency in my daily life, I`ll pick it up and be fully house trained in no time. Staff noticed that I have a bit of a head wobble and sometimes a little instability in my gait. The veterinarian checked me out and believes that I may have a genetic neurological issue, but outside of monitoring, no medical intervention is necessary. Regardless, I never let anything slow me down! I would do best living in a home environment without shared walls since I can be a vocal boy. For more information about me or how to begin the adoption process, please contact kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126.Dogs: Requires dog introductionCats: NoKids: 13+Weight: 21.5

Story
Ginger is definitely the most sweetest little girl you’ll meet! She weighs approximately 18 lbs and is about 1 year old. She has not had an easy life. She was found roaming the streets, sleeping wherever she could, and getting chased by male dogs. Unfortunately, she didn’t even make it past her first or 2nd heat before she was pregnant. She had 3 beautiful puppies. She spent the first few weeks of their young life providing them shelter and finding food so she could feed them. It wasn’t until they were about 6 weeks when a good Samaritan found her and got her and her puppies safe. We believe the puppies were born around mid October, and they are available for adoption also! 2 females and 1 male – Minnie, Millie and Milo. Ginger is such a doll. She loves to please her people and be around people. A complete lap dog and cuddle bug. Once you start petting her, she will roll on her back to get lots of belly rubs. She doesn’t care where you pet her, as long as you do. She’s SOOO happy. Ginger loves other dogs and gets along with every dog she has met. She was a GREAT mom to her little ones too. She doesn’t mind cats at all (please see video). She completely ignores the cats inside the foster’s home and gives them no mind. She would rather be looking at her humans than anything else. Ginger is leash trained and does great on the leash. Because she has limited house experience, she is learning potty training currently, so she does need a home that understands she is not fully house trained. We do believe it won’t take long to house train her with someone who is consistent and patient. Ginger does great with all ages, children and all people. There is no person she has met she doesn’t just melt into. If you’re looking for a super friendly, very sweet, people pleasing, loyal companion, smart, gentle, lapdog doggy – please consider Ginger today. All of dogs are fixed, heart worm negative, current on vaccinations, current on dewormer, current on preventions, microchipped and given a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption. If you are interested in adopting, PLEASE fill out an application at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org

Story
Millie, Minnie, and Milo are Ginger’s puppies that are ready for adoption! We don’t know their exact date of birth but we expect around October 20th, 2024 – which would make them about 5 months. Their mom was born outside and fended for herself her whole young life, until she gave birth outside to these 3 beautiful puppies. It wasn’t until they were about 6-7 weeks old that a good Samaritan found them and got them to safety. Until then, they relied solely on their also young mom to find them shelter, food and provide milk for nursing. These puppies only weigh about 17-19 lbs and we don’t believe they will get over 30 lbs full grown given their current age and weight. Their mom, Ginger, who is also available for adoption, is only 18 lbs, we do not know who dad is though. Millie, Minnie and Milo are beautiful merle/tri color puppies that are just such gentle souls, just like their mom. They are not super hyper like most puppies but do love to play. They are just learning what toys are and how to be puppies. They are very smart. They listen well and we know when they find their forever homes and get more one on one attention, they will thrive and show their true potential. Millie, Minnie and Milo LOVE other dogs and would do great with other dogs in the home or without. They would also be fine with cats with proper introductions. They LOVE children and would do wonderful with all ages of children. Quite affectionate when they get to know you (it doesn't take long!) VERY food motivated and will go for all treats. Millie, Minnie and Milo would love to go on adventures, explore new things and be apart of a home that wants to keep them forever. Adoption fee includes current vaccinations, dewormer, current preventions, microchip, and a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption. If you’re interested in adopting please fill out an application at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org
