Berkley's Story

Meet Berkley — the happiest girl who has been through WAY too much. <br/><br/>Berkley has been through more than any dog should ever have to endure... and yet somehow, she wakes up every single day with a wiggle butt, a happy heart, and so much love to give. <br/><br/>Her story started in Texas, where she was dumped and was obviously a nursing mama — but no puppies were ever found. She ended up at a high-kill shelter that was completely full and was just minutes away from being euthanized simply because they didn’t have space.<br/><br/>Thankfully, a rescuer stepped in and pulled her to safety, bringing her to Sioux City. <br/><br/>But her journey wasn’t over.<br/><br/>We soon discovered that Berkley was heartworm positive, and she also needed a TPLO surgery. She went through treatment, surgery, recovery, and everything that came with it. She finished her final heartworm treatment in July and will need to be retested in April.<br/><br/>After everything she’s been through, you might expect Berkley to be nervous, shut down, or unsure of the world.<br/><br/>But that’s not Berkley. Berkley is HAPPY. <br/>She is truly one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet and her entire body seems to wiggle when she’s excited. She absolutely LOVES people and just wants to be around her favorite humans.<br/><br/>And let us tell you... this girl is a STUFFY FANATIC. Give Berkley a stuffed toy and she is one happy girl! She absolutely loves her stuffies and would happily spend her day hanging out with her favorite people and playing with her toys.<br/><br/>Her favorite things include:<br/>-Going for car rides<br/>-Laying outside and soaking up the sunshine<br/>-Hanging out with her favorite people<br/>-Stuffed toys — ALL the stuffies!<br/>-Going to Bomgaars — because apparently she’s a shopping girl!<br/><br/>Because of her recent HW treatment, we’re still keeping Berkley calm until September 9th, so we haven’t officially tested her with other dogs yet. She has, however, been nose-to-nose with dogs while on leash and has shown no negative responses. Once she’s cleared, we’ll be able to learn more about how she does with canine friends.<br/><br/>Berkley has had people fail her. She’s been dumped, overlooked, and almost lost. But Berkley never stopped being happy. She never stopped loving people. She never stopped wiggling her butt. <br/><br/>Now, she deserves the part of her story we’ve all been waiting for:<br/>A forever home. <br/><br/>A home where she can go on car rides, lay in the sunshine, destroy—or lovingly collect—stuffies, tag along on adventures, visit Bomgaars, and most importantly, know every single day that she is safe, loved, and finally home.<br/>Berkley has been through enough.<br/>Now it’s time for her happily ever after.<br/><br/>If you can give Berkley the home she deserves, apply here: https://tinyurl.com/3z7krvyu
