Meet Briar — a striking young German Shepherd-Husky mix who was found wandering
as a stray. Because of this, he started out a little uncertain and clingy to his foster
owners. Gradual introductions to his crate and being left alone have paid off because he
kennels up well now for an entire work day. The resident dog in the house helped him
by keeping him company in a kennel right beside his.
Speaking of other dogs, Briar very much wants to interact with dogs in his home but his
size and exuberance can be too much or threatening for some. He does pay attention to
some doggie signals but also could use some impulse control training as he can be very
strong willed and doesn’t always display the best restraint. Older dogs and cats will
likely not appreciate his spirit.
He still channels his inner puppy from time to time, not realizing his size and strength
when bounding around or mouthing during play. For this reason, young children will not
be the best housemates for him.
Like many shepherds, he is loyal and curious, and he’s already showing signs of being
a quick learner. He confidently will sit, shake, and down and has great potential to do so
much more! He enjoys playing fetch in the yard and will chase tennis balls and an
occasional deflated playground ball. Training sessions are a favorite activity of his as he
LOVES working for treats!
He will require a home that can provide structure, enrichment, exercise, and patience as
he learns more about becoming a best friend and adventure companion!
