Gunnar is the most caring, vocal and lovable baby out there. So loveable that he likes to p*e on everyone's feet when they come to the door to meet him. He protects our baby and teenage son.

Come on by and get your pet's photo taken at Benson's Pet Center - and help a great organization!

Sunday Nov 18 from noon to 3 pm.

Poppy sez, "Hey, y'all! Guess who just got their TASP Fantasy Photo taken at Benson's Pet Center in Colonie! Of course, everyone knew what background would reflect the inner-Poppy, right? FOOD! ON THE TABLE! LOOKIN' TASTY! YAH! The TASP folks were at Saratoga's Benson's yesterday snappin' and clickin' their hearts out for local animals in crisis. My Ma and Pa just paid a measley $10 donation to get this awesome photo of me and my favorite things. And then, as if that wasn't cool enough, they put another $5 on the table and had the file emailed to them so they can plaster my handsome face all over the place, sharin' and smilin' all the way till Thanksgiving! And knowing as we do that every penny earned at TASp events is applied to the welfare of local pets who need a hand, there's no need for heartburn about the donation! The TASP volunteers will be at Benson's Colonie till 3PM today and then it's a weeks wait till the next clinic at Pet Supplies Plus in Troy. Maybe we'll see ya there and have a snack together!"

Congrats to Lizzie and Joe - and what a cool way to tie the knot! 💕

Best of luck to you both.

See these two beautiful people? They are getting married at our shelter on Saturday! Joe is very lucky to wed our Lizzy, who has been the Humane Educator for more than 5 years. She considers Berkshire Humane Society to be her home, her family - so what better place to tie the knot? If you love Lizzy and want to support Humane Education – and help animals too – please consider becoming a Compassionate Caregiver. It would be the BEST gift to celebrate these two loving, animal-obsessed humans. Congrats Lizzy and Joe! 🎉💖🥂🐾

Animal shelters can always use extra pet toys, and it’s fun to get a little crafty – especially for a good cause!

Show 'em some love with these easy handcrafted toys (and keep the kids busy, too!)
