Bio:

I am a flat-coated retriever possibly mixed with Bernese mountain dog. I am outgoing and friendly. I am good in the car and love playing in my foster home’s fenced yard and going for walks. I totally adore foster mom and follow her everywhere. And when she comes home from being away, I jump on her to let her know how happy I am to see her. I DO NOT do that to guests in our house, however.

Here’s what foster mom has to say about me:

“Bernie is seriously the best and sweetest dog. He loves any attention. He is a love bug and just wants attention and pets. But he also calms down quickly and naps after play time.”

Weight: 70 pounds

Good with kids? Does well with kids 8 and older

Good with other dogs? Yes, but not very interested in them

Good with cats? Unknown

Adoption fee: $550

Medical: Bernie is taking fish oil to help with itchiness on his paws and neck.

Requirements: Bernie will do best in a home where he has companionship most of the day.

Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
