Pet of the Week: An affectionate, gentle, giant girl

Grey Bruce Animal Shelter offers a safe place for pets that have no choices left.

“Sometimes, their owners have had no choice either. They, too, may have aged and had to move into a facility where their loved companions are not allowed or, in the final step of life, may have died leaving their pets behind,” says Shelter Manager, Deb Takeda.  “Whatever the reason, these faithful friends have no choice but to wait … wait for someone new to take them in and love them.”

Meet Holly. She’s a happy, friendly nine-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog and she’s looking for a quiet home to live out her twilight years.  She’s good with people and other dogs, not so much with cats.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a gentle giant originally from the Swiss Alps and is instantly recognizable by its distinctive tri-color coat of black, white, and rust. These large dogs are known for their calm and affectionate nature, earning them a reputation as devoted family companions. They are intelligent and relatively easy to train, making them well-suited for active families with children which describes Holly to a ‘T’.

Holly just wants to be with people, is always so friendly and loving this winter weather.

She is spayed, up to date on shots and for an appointment to meet this gentle girl, call the shelter at 519 372-1911.
