Bran needs a foster carer
About Bran
Meet Bran – Your Future Clever, Loyal Sidekick
Born 17 November 2025, Bran is a gorgeous black and tan German Shepherd x Border Collie puppy with a sweet nature, bright eyes and a curious mind that is already taking in everything around him. He is growing into an energetic youngster who is ready to start life’s adventures with his new family.
Bran is an affectionate, people-loving puppy who behaved beautifully at his first vet visit (when some of his profile photos were taken), charming everyone he met with his calm and friendly manner.
With the intelligence of both the German Shepherd and Border Collie, Bran is expected to grow into a highly trainable, loyal companion who will love learning, spending time with his people and being included in everyday family life. He will thrive in a home that enjoys training, playtime and giving a clever young dog plenty of positive outlets for his energy as he grows.
Bran’s ideal home:
✔ People home most of the time, or with a routine that provides plenty of companionship
✔ Another energetic dog, preferably older, who can show him the ropes
✔ Secure, dog-safe fencing
✔ Owners committed to training, enrichment and regular exercise
✔ Experience with German Shepherds, Border Collies, or similar working breeds highly regarded
Bran is at the perfect age for socialisation, learning and building strong bonds, and with the right start he is expected to grow into a devoted, intelligent and loving companion.
