Meet Bernie, a lively and lovable 6.5-year-old terrier mix with a heart as big as his personality! This playful, wiggly guy is always up for fun and thrives with someone who can match his spirit while providing calm guidance. Bernie is full of charm he makes sweet eye contact and genuinely enjoys human attention. While he's still learning his best manners, he already knows how to sit and walks well on leash. He can be a bit sensitive around his ears and paws, so gentle, respectful handling is important. Bernie would do best in a home with savvy kids ages 14 + and a home without other animals, where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. If you’re ready to offer love, patience, and a forever home to a dog with lots of heart, Bernie’s ready to meet you! Come say hello and start your next great adventure together!
