About Bergamont

Bergamont, known as Bergy, is a young Heeler mix who came close to losing his shot at happiness in a shelter before getting his much-deserved second chance. This 3–4 month old pup is all about gentle snuggles and silly puppy antics, soaking up affection from anyone willing to offer it. He’s got trusting eyes, a soft disposition, and a playful streak that keeps him curious about every new toy and backyard adventure. While he sometimes needs a minute to feel safe in new places, once he settles, he reveals a sweet, cuddly personality that’s impossible to ignore. Bergy plays well with other dogs—he’s easygoing, a little submissive, and makes a great companion for a home with other pups. He’s already working on his potty and crate training, and he takes comfort in his crate after busy days filled with yard explorations and puppy zoomies. Food-motivated and eager to learn, Bergy responds well to training sessions (bring snacks, and you’ve got his full attention). He gets along with dogs, cats, and children, so he’ll slip right into almost any family routine. Whoever brings Bergamont home will have a loyal, affectionate sidekick who loves a good cuddle session after a day of play. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
