My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Briggs von Bretten is an adorable 18 month old German Shepherd mix with an ebony coat. This sweet boy with the bendy ear has come a long way from the extremely shy boy who first arrived at the rescue. He now looks forwards to his walks and to calmly exploring. Briggs is a quality-over-quantity guy who takes a little time to bond with humans (treats seem to expedite the process). When he does, he does so extremely well! He tends to stick close and loves the bonding that happens when it's just the two of you. Listening like a champ is one of his specialties, which we think anyone will enjoy! Around his people, Briggs is just the happiest boy. He enjoys receiving affection, especially in the form of belly rubs. Briggs is smart; he is crate-trained, house-broken and loves his toys! That’s great, because playing with other dogs is not his thing. He likes to find the area with the least number of dogs in it and then stick around his humans. It’s OK, Briggs, some of us are just not that extroverted! Around other dogs he can still be unsure, especially if he feels they might take something away from him. Briggs would be an excellent match for a calm, loving adult home with someone who is home more often than not. He’s a selective boy whose “still waters run deep,” and he knows that the right home is waiting for him right now! (No toddlers or cats please.)
