Birkenstock is Pet of The Week

Put on your shoes and take him for a walk.

Birkenstock is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 1-1/2 year old, 54 pound, German Shepherd mix.

Birkenstock is a happy, jumpy dog who loves to greet people at the front of his kennel.

When it’s time for a walk, he makes it very easy to put on his leash. He needs some positive reinforcement to keep him from pulling once his walk begins.
