Meet Briar, a gentle soul who has just joined the shelter. At around 2 years old, he observes his surroundings thoughtfully before stepping forward. Although initially a bit nervous, there's a sweetness within Briar waiting to emerge when he's given the chance to feel secure. Briar seeks a calm, laid-back family where he can ease into his new life at his own pace. Once he knows he’s safe, he will become a loyal companion for life. He is good with other dogs, though a meet and greet is necessary. Briar does not get along with cats and would do best with older, calmer children who understand his need for patience as he builds his confidence. Sometimes the quieter dogs have the biggest hearts, and Briar is one of them. He isn’t looking for a bustling home but rather a special place where he can finally relax and thrive. Could you be that person? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
