We’re going to share the good days, the hard days, what we learn and everything in between.<br/><br/>Berg’s journey isn’t over. He’s just back with his Journey Home village while we figure out exactly what his happily ever after needs to look like. <br/><br/>We’ve got you, Berg. Take all the time you need. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Welcome BERG to Journey Home GSD & Husky Rescue! <br/><br/>We are so excited to give this handsome boy a second chance! Well keep you posted as we learn more about Berg and as he makes his way to Missouri. Heres what we know so far:<br/><br/> Name: Berg<br/> Gender: Male<br/> Breed: Shepherd<br/> Color: White<br/> Age: 3 years old<br/> Weight: 75 lbs<br/><br/>Berg came into the shelter as a stray on June 13th, and sadly, no one ever came looking for him. He was set to lose his life yesterday. But thankfully, his story doesnt end there!<br/><br/>During his time at the shelter, Berg has participated in several playgroups. He seems to prefer smaller groups and one-on-one time, especially with his kennel mate. He is social with the staff, walks well on a leash, and already knows his sit command. Such a good boy! <br/><br/>Now comes the important part...<br/><br/>Berg does NOT need to go to boarding when he arrives in Missouri. What he needs is a foster or, even better, his forever family! <br/><br/>We want to have a plan in place for this handsome boy when he arrives, so lets get those applications in! <br/><br/>Who is ready to give Berg the fresh start he deserves? His forever family could be YOU! <br/><br/>https://journeyhomegsd.org/

BERG IS BACK — AND WE’VE GOT YOU, BUDDY.

As we mentioned, we have a few dogs back in rescue, and this morning we made sure they got all the love, attention and one-on-one time they needed.

Our sweet boy Berg is back.

One thing we know about Berg is that change is hard for him — and when you look at everything this boy has been through, it’s easy to understand why.

He went from living in a shelter, where he was scheduled to be euthanized, to temporary boarding. Then he traveled all the way to Missouri, went into another boarding facility, spent one night in a home, was neutered, spent a couple more nights in a home...and then came back to us and into boarding

That is A LOT for any dog.

At every step of his journey, Berg has shown us that he needs time to decompress. He needs quiet. He needs consistency. He needs to know what comes next.

We don’t know his past.

We don’t know if he once lived in a home.
We don’t know if he li

We don’t know his past.

We don’t know if he once lived in a home.
We don’t know if he lived on the streets.
We don’t know if he ever had to fight for his next meal.
We don’t know what experiences taught him that change can be scary.

But here’s what we DO know:

We are going to give him time.
We are going to give him space.
We are going to learn what Berg needs.
We are going to show him that he is safe.
And most importantly, we believe in
