SHOP LOCAL

The local heroes at Berkshire Humane Society need our help! BHS has had to close its doors and those of its two Catwalk boutiques to the public, as well as cancel its fundraising events. To help them continue to run the shelter, offer community programs, and provide free food to local pet owners, they are conducting an online apparel fundraiser. All money raised through the site goes directly to Berkshire Humane Society!
