About Berkeley & Harvard

Meet Berkeley, a delightful young lady with a heart full of love. She's sweet and quiet, often finding comfort sitting on laps. Berkeley has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia, which gives her a bit of a wobbly gait and causes her to fall over occasionally. But she navigates her world with determination, and thanks to her clean litter box, she always stays tidy. While she's a bit of a messy eater, pecking at her food due to her condition, she's otherwise a good companion. Berkeley gets along well with her big dog housemates and adores her brother, Harvard. They are a bonded pair, and it would be wonderful if they could find a forever home together. This lovely girl shines in her own special way and is ready for a loving family to call her own.
