🌟 Meet Big Bernie, the ultimate gentle giant with a heart as expansive as his playful paws! Born on August 27, 2022, this big, sweet, and delightfully goofy boy is ready to find the right person or family who will shower him with love!❤️ Imagine snuggling with a giant teddy bear—yes, that’s Bernie for you! Despite his impressive size and strength, he embodies the definition of a gentle soul. He’s affectionate, cuddly, and wonderfully patient, making him a joy to have around, especially for young kids! 🧸🤗 Now, let’s chat about this playful pup’s quirks! While he’s a little shy and curious with new faces, give him some time, and you’ll find a loyal friend for life! Just like any prince, he deserves some special attention. He'll need a home within 200 miles of Wake Forest, NC because, bless his heart, he gets car sick—no long rides for our sweet giant! Bernie also prefers a calm environment since he can be skittish with loud or unfamiliar noises. You see, he’s a bit of a flight risk in those situations, so a peaceful haven is what his heart desires. This handsome hunk spends his days playing with his canine pals—about five hours of fun-filled playtime! He also enjoys unwinding afterward, dreaming sweetly of treats and belly rubs. 🍖💤 He’s eager to please and is learning the ropes of good dog manners, like leash skills and understanding the playful cues of his furry friends. With gentle guidance, Big Bernie is blossoming beautifully!🌼 And let's not forget the bonus—he’s good with kids! 👶 While he hasn’t met any cats yet, he could surely use another dog for some added confidence and joy in his forever home, though it’s not a deal breaker. Bernie maintains a healthy diet, munching on 1 to 1.5 cups of food three times a day, plus he’s got his potty routine down to a tee!🎉🌾 Because he is such a strong boy, he’ll need an equally confident and physically capable handler to help guide him on walks and when getting in and out of the car—he needs someone who can keep him safe, especially since he can be startled! 🎈 He thrives in a calm, quiet household, ideally in a more rural area where plenty of room and a tall fence can allow him to roam and play freely. Full of love, loyalty, and charm, Bernie is the perfect companion for anyone looking to welcome a true gentle giant into their life. If you don’t mind a little extra dog on your lap and a whole lot of love filling your home, then Bernie is ready to fill your life with joy!
