Bergamot is a striking German Shepherd with classic good looks and a friendly, confident personality. He is affectionate, people-oriented, and genuinely enjoys being close to his humans. He recently proved himself to be an outgoing superstar at an adoption event, happily greeting visitors and handling a busy, crowded environment with ease, clearly thriving on social interaction.
As a German Shepherd, Bergamot is intelligent, engaged, and eager for activity and companionship, embodying the breed's loyal and affectionate nature. He was non-reactive around other dogs at the event and showed playful, friendly interest in small dogs. However, he does possess a strong prey drive, meaning he is not suited for a home with cats.
