Live 95.9 Pet Of The Week: Meet Snorkel

John Perrault from The Berkshire Humane Society joins Slater and Marjo on Wednesday mornings to talk about the "Pet of the Week".

This week, meet Snorkel!

Hey there! I'm Snorkel, a sweet, lovable, and very excitable Pittie man. I was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of my own, as my owner's allergies to me were just too much for them.

I am an energetic young man who would love an active home to go out to explore and play, but also come home to snuggle and relax. While I love every human I meet, I would do best with teens 13+ as I don't always know my strength when I get excited.

I am not reactive to other dogs, but once I'm near one, I try to dominate them. Because of this, it would be best if I was the only pet in the household.

If you are interested in meeting me or would like some more information, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or email me at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org.

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
