She had parvo as a baby, but she fought her way through it and is in perfect health. Sometime after she got over the parvo, she was unfortunately part of a domestic abuse situation. Beretta missed some crucial socialization time as a puppy and also can be fearful due to her past. Her foster has been working with her and she has come a really long way! Her personality is shining and she is proving to be the most loving, loyal companion that anyone could ask for. Beretta is looking for a forever family who will show her patience, security and love. Her forever family will be incredibly lucky to have Beretta by their side! Beretta is a shy girl to start but once she warms up, and her true personality comes out, she is delightful. She is a shepherd mix true and true with her herding, circling, pacing and extremely intelligent mannerism. She is quick to learn the routine and adapts well to her environment once she is on a schedule. She loves to follow the rules and obey and gets along with all dogs she meets. If you are looking for an intelligent and loyal /loving companion, Beretta is the dog for you. Malinois/shepherd experience is highly recommended.
