About this shelter

Berkshire Humane Society's Purradise in Great Barrington, MA

Berkshire Humane Society's Purradise is located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, about 35 miles northwest of Albany, NY, and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Purradise serves as the Berkshire Humane Society's Great Barrington location, complementing the main shelter in Pittsfield, and offers feline boarding services for cat owners. Berkshire Humane Society has been helping animals and people since 1992 as a private, open-admission shelter that takes in over a thousand animals each year, turning no animal away regardless of age, temperament, medical condition, or breed, and placing 100% of its adoptable animals into new homes. Its mission is to ensure the compassionate care, treatment, and placement of companion animals while promoting and improving the welfare of all animals through education and outreach.
