Berrin is a foster dog and is looking for a loving home! She is a Collie/German Shepherd mix, one year old, and a loving dog. She came to the Front Range German Shepherd Rescue from a humane society in Kansas, where she had been placed on the euthanasia list. After arriving in Colorado, Berrin stayed at a kennel before she was finally transferred into a foster home.
Berrin is housebroken, knows her basic commands, is crate-trained, and loves to play. She currently lives with a Malamute and a Shiba Inu mix with whom she loves to wrestle with, share bones, and sleep in the same bed. She has also lived with a cat, whom she just loved. They would play together, but Berrin does not harass cats: when the cat is done playing Berrin is happy to give them space. Berrin also likes to play with the neighbor dog who is 12 years old and suffers from hip and neurological problems. Berrin is sensitive to the older dog’s limitations and plays more gently than with the Malamute and Chow mix.
Berrin is just a bundle of joy and a little lover. She is playful and does have energy, but she is not a hyper dog. She does have a tendency to greet people by jumping, but with a stern “Down!” she sits and waits to be petted. She is great in the crate – she has no hesitancy to be crated and is able to stay in the crate during the majority of the day. She is spoiled and is allowed to sleep in the bed at night, where she enjoys sharing your pillow and curling up next to you.
With a name like “Berrin”, she has adopted many nicknames! “Bear”, “Strawberry”, “Berrie”, and “Bear-Bear” are just a few. Her defining characteristics are her floppy ears and her play-bow. She also has a very cute balancing trick on her hind legs: she has learned this usually earns her a treat.
