About Briar

Meet Briar! At just 2 years old, this Labrador Retriever/Border Collie mix has a sweet personality that shines through as she settles in. Initially a bit shy and nervous around new people, Briar quickly reveals her playful and silly side with some patience. She adores treats, listens well, and is an intelligent girl who loves to solve puzzles. Briar would thrive best in a home with older, respectful children, as her gentle disposition requires a calm environment. She’s looking for an adopter who can provide her the time and space she needs to build confidence. Briar is up to date on her vaccinations and is waiting to be spayed before heading to her forever home. If you think this sweet girl could be the one for you, we’d love to hear from you!
