About Berry

Meet Berry! Berry is a sweet Miniature Poodle who has recently turned 8 years old, born on September 24, 2018. He’s a senior gentleman ready to bask in love during his golden years.

Many dogs like Berry do well with confident companions around to guide them, teaching him that life as a dog can be truly enjoyable. Berry may need some extra love, but he's a sweet soul inside just waiting for a safe and peaceful forever home.
