Bernie came in with his brother after they were abandoned in a Los Angeles parking lot, and he's proved to be a gentle, good-natured dog who has taken everything in stride. Despite his early hardships, Bernie has settled into rescue life with ease and shows his laid-back, loving side to everyone. Now about 10 months old and already 60 pounds, Bernie is still growing and will likely top out as a big, handsome shepherd mix with a plush, medium-length coat and those classic oversized puppy paws. Bernie is excellent with other dogs and thrives on companionship, whether it’s with his canine buddies or humans willing to give him a little extra attention. He charms with his puppy eyes, sweet nature, and an easygoing spirit that would mesh well in most homes, especially those with kids or other friendly dogs. He’s house trained and already neutered, and with his calm confidence, Bernie would flourish with a family that wants both fun and affection. Start your journey together! Apply now.
