Berkshire Humane Society Pet of the Week: Meet Kali

Every Wednesday at 8:30 we're joined by John Perreault, Executive Director of the Berkshire Humane Society to 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 Kali a five-year-old pit bull mix who is a sweetie. This blue and white girl was brought to Berkshire Humane Society because her owner did not have a proper home to keep her in. Kali has never met someone she didn’t like. She’s somewhat of a couch potato, so would love to hunker down with you this winter!

Kali has some food allergies, which require a high-quality diet. She does not get along with other dogs or cats, so should be the only pet in the home, with no children under eight years old.

If you are interested in meeting Kali, please call Berkshire Humane Society’s kennel at 413-447-7878, extension 126
