Every Wednesday at 8:30we're joined by John Perreault, Executive Director of theBerkshire Humane Societyto discuss all the happenings at their Barker Road facility, plus talk about their Pet of the Week.
This week's Pet of the Week is Pantera, a beautiful black domestic shorthair cat who is approximately8 years old. This friendly boy was found as a stray in Pittsfield so shelter staff does not have any information about his background. Pantera is an affectionate cat and will be your best buddy, but hes just not fond of other cats. He's great around children and dogs, just not other cats.
As a pet more than 7 years old, he qualifies for a senior discount a bargain because he probably has many more years to live and love! If you are interested in Pantera, please call Berkshire Humane Society's feline department at 413-447-7878, extension 124.
