About Berne Y
Berne Y has the charming shuffle of a bear cub and the face to match. Underneath that cute exterior, he’s a tail-less wonder with a unique story. After a rough start as a stray, Berne was checked over by the vet for a back end that didn’t quite move the same as other dogs. His spine is compressed—something he’ll live with for life. There’s no pain, he just gets around in his own way, bouncing with those puppy bursts of energy before settling back into calm. Since he is a little more delicate in back, he’d do best in a household with older children who can respect his space. Berne loves to play tug of war, gnaw on bully sticks, and occasionally harass his tolerant foster siblings. He’s picking up crate and leash manners fast, and is already potty trained. Expect him to remain a medium-sized dog, likely topping out around 30 pounds. All in all, Berne Y is an easygoing companion—goofy, resilient, and ready to bring his spirit into a new home.
