BERRY - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. If you’ve ever had a German Shepherd, you know their loyalty and love is like no other… and from the moment Berry arrived in our care, it was clear she’s something truly special. She immediately stole the hearts of her foster parents and everyone in our rescue, and then we learned she came to us with medical needs we didn’t anticipate. When her foster noticed a limp, we rushed Berry to the vet, where we learned she is positive for Lyme disease and Ehrlichia, likely causing her joint pain, as well as Leptospirosis, and elevated liver enzymes requiring ongoing monitoring. She’s now on doxycycline, mirtazapine, and Rimadyl for joint pain, and thankfully she’s already improving every day! Berry is 6 years old, 80lbs, and we can only imagine what her life in Kentucky was like before she reached us, she likely could have been treated long ago. In her foster home, Berry is calm, affectionate, and endlessly sweet. She loves cuddles, gentle kisses, and companionship above all else. She’s quiet, polite, and crate-trained, and her leash walking in a busy city is improving daily. She’s calm around dogs, hasn’t been around cats or kids, but her gentle nature suggests she’d do well with children. On walks, the only birds or squirrels she notices are the ones on her favorite Doggy TV videos! Berry deserves a loving forever home where she can be cherished. German Shepherd lovers, she needs you, and you need her (Apply at rescuecity.nyc/adopt)!
