Bernie is a very sweet boy in search of his perfect forever family. He is a 1 year old miniature poodle/westie mix with lots of energy! Bernie needs someone who has lots of time to spend with him and exercise him daily. Ideally, Bernie would go to a home where a family member is able to be with him most of the day as he struggles with separation anxiety and does not like it when the people he loves have to leave him. Bernie must go to a home with a physically fenced in yard as he can be a door dasher - no exceptions!

Bernie is housetrained and knows the commands sit, lay down, and come. He does well with other dogs and kids but has not been exposed to cats. Bernie loves to be in your lap as much as possible and will make someone a wonderful companion.

Bernie's adoption fee is $400 plus tax. If interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application here: https://www.sfcaninerescue.org/forms/

*Please note an adopter will not be chosen on a first come-first serve basis. An applicant will be chosen based on compatibility to Bernie's needs.*

More about Bernie

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
