Believe it or not, Berry, the stunning senior German Shepherd who played the canine form of the character Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, has been relinquished to German Shepherd Dog Rescue in the U.K.
Fox News recently reported that 10-year-old Berry and his 13-year-old canine companion, Porridge, were given up by a professional stuntman who just "didn't have enough time for them anymore." Sadly this is an excuse we hear all too often here in the states.
Berry's sad plight is making headlines, and German Shepherd Dog Rescue has already received more than 100 adoption inquiries. ABC News reports that the group won't consider shipping the two dogs overseas.
While Berry and Porridge will no doubt end up in great homes because of all this exposure, many other German Shepherds, senior dogs and bonded pairs will still be waiting for homes, without the benefit of publicity.
Right now there are nearly 8,000 adoptable German Shepherds listed on Petfinder and nearly 15,000 adoptable senior pets across North America.

Please consider rescuing a senior shelter pet (or two).
