About Berry

Berry has come a long way since his rough start—he survived parvo as a puppy and pushed through some tough hospital days. Now at about four years old and healthy, Berry’s ready for a real home where he can settle in and thrive. This Lab/Staffie/Dane mix weighs in at about 60 lbs and doesn’t let his size stop him from acting like a cheerful goofball. He is deeply affectionate once he warms up and will become a loyal, loving companion for life. Berry is crate and house trained, so daily routines should be smooth. He values playtime, especially with his stuffed toys, and balances his playful side with a moderate energy level. He needs a yard—regular outdoor time is essential for his happiness and wellbeing. While Berry loves a family vibe and does well with older children who are comfortable with big, bouncy dogs, he’s looking for a household that can give him plenty of both activity and down time. Healthy, vaccinated, and neutered, Berry is simply waiting for the right family to come along. If you’re after a loyal, playful, and big-hearted friend and you have space for his energy, Berry just might be your new best buddy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
