Bernie is a 3-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix who weighs in around 50 pounds. He’s lived a tough life—over a year on the streets alongside his previous owner—yet he remains ridiculously sweet, particularly drawn to people, and especially fond of men. Now in foster care, Bernie is polite with small children and does well in the car. He’s currently receiving slow-kill heartworm treatment, which is covered by his adoption fee. Bernie has proven himself as a resilient, loving companion who’s handled change and adversity with patience. He’s the kind of dog who’ll appreciate a safe, comfortable home—his tough chapter is finally behind him. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
