My story

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

Berry is one of our favorite foster dogs. She is so nice and so well behaved and so lovable that we have foster homes fighting over her. We know Berry looks like a beached whale right now but believe it or not, she is already thinner than when she came into rescue. From our experience with her, she got morbidly obese due to being fed people food as she does not over eat dog food even when given the opportunity. The wonderful folks at Yap Wraps have been providing some of our foster dogs with vest harnesses but poor Berry couldn’t fit in any of them. She had to get a Techno Harness in order to fit her girth. At first, we could barely buckle it but we are happy to report that over the weekend, we had to make the straps tighter. Berry is enthusiastically in support of her exercise regime and she loves going out for walks. Her stamina is increasing each week and you can actually noticeably see how much easy she finds it to move. Berry is quiet, good with the other dogs and friendly to everyone. We’d love to see her go to a home that would make sure she gets daily walks to help in her weight loss program (and because she loves them so much.).

Berry will crate quietly but her foster mom has been letting her sleep in the big bed. She has
been good with cats. Berry is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.
