Bernie

My story

Meet Bernie! She is a gorgeous 7 year old pit mix looking for her FUREVER home! She has such a love for life and a desire to give so much love to those she interacts with! We rescued Bernie after she found herself as a stray at the local shelter and was going to be euthanized. She has been spayed, is in on monthly flea/tick/HW preventative, and gets weekly baths. She is prone to lots of skin issues and as a result would do best in a home environment and not a boarding facility with a foster or owner that is very attentive. Bernie has never let this little bump in the road stop her from enjoying her newfound freedom. She loves baths, treats, chew bones and will tell you when it's time to feed her as she is extremely food motivated! Bernie is an active girl who loves to go on walks and play with any toy in sight! When it is time to relax for the day, you can find Bernie cuddled up next to her humans begging for belly rubs, or chewing on a bone. She is crate trained and does well staying by herself if kept occupied with toys, bones or kongs. She will thank you with a big smile and unwavering loyalty! She takes weekly outings in public, rides great in a car, and is doing great socializing and working on a leash. Hold on tight if you see a squirrel though! While she is highly allergic to cats and cannot be in a home with them, she loves kids and humans! She likes other dogs of all sizes but requires a slow introduction to any canine companion as she enjoys playing gregariously.
