Briar is a young, striking German Shepherd recently found wandering alone as a stray. With no one coming to claim him, his mandatory stray hold ends July 9th—and he’ll need a foster home ready to welcome him that very day. Intelligent, alert, and eager to connect, Briar is showing classic shepherd traits: loyalty, curiosity, and a readiness to learn. He’s waiting for someone to help him start his new chapter.
