About Bernie
Bernie is a spayed female Australian Shepherd with a striking black tri-color coat and a tail that matches her energized personality. At about 1 year and 8 months, she weighs around 38 lbs and exhibits the liveliness typical of her breed. Bernie needs an active adopter who understands high-energy dogs, especially those who can engage her in dog sports and manage her enthusiasm. She is house trained, crate trained, and up to date on her vet care. Bernie enjoys car rides and travels comfortably in her crate. This adventurous girl has a deep affection for water and frequently shows off her zoomies! With some agility training already under her belt and knowledge of basic commands, she's been exposed to various fun activities that keep her stimulated. While she gets along well with other dogs, she might see cats as something to chase. Bernie loves human companionship, is not bothered by loud noises, and can entertain herself outdoors by chasing squirrels or exploring interesting scents. Despite her playful spirit, she has excellent recall and enjoys returning home after her adventures. While still learning to manage some of her puppy behaviors like play-biting and jumping, her charm shines through when she finally settles down at the end of an action-packed day. Located in Durham, NC, Bernie is ready to find her forever home. If you believe you can match her energy and make her your new best friend, don't hesitate to apply today!
