Holly Berry and her mom and 4 siblings were rescued homeless family off the streets. The temps were scheduled to be at 10 degrees that night and the lady just could not leave them to freeze. She provided blankets and clothing for the people and scooped up mom (she is full GSD) and all 5 babies and put them in the back of her SUV. Holly Berry is the more BOLD personality of the sisters. She is spunky but loves to lay on her back like a baby and just get belly rubs. Neck scratches and ear scratches are her favorite.
