The Voice of Nosara and Nosara Animal Care (NAC) are joining forces to find homes for abandoned dogs and cats in Nosara. During the next 2 months, we will share profiles of the pets that NAC has for adoption. Each of them has its own life history and also their own personality.

With this campaign, you will get to know each of them better: some are great guardians, others are in need for love and affection, while others just want a shelter to feel safe while they learn how to play with your family members. All of them are different and unique, and the best part is that you can help them.

Name: Berli
Age: 2 years old
Description: beige Belgian Sheppard X with black markings. She is medium/large size and full grown
Medical History: spayed and fully vaccinated. Berli had mange and a skin infection when she came to us but has not had any skin issues since treated in February 2012.
Background: Berli’s original owners wanted to kill her because she had mange. They did not understand that it was a treatable condition. Her neighbours called NAC concerned for her wellbeing. She had obviously not been loved or fed properly for a long time. People in the neighbourhood were throwing rocks and hot water at her to keep her off their properties when she would come searching for food.
Her owner surrendered her to NAC and we took her in our care. She had a long battle with skin bacteria but since her treatment she has been healthy and very happy. She is a beautiful dog with an intelligent and friendly personality. She would make a great companion in a one dog household, and a loyal guard dog.
