Meet Bernard, our sweet little deaf and blind poodle mix is looking for his Furever home Bernard is around 8 years old and about 15 lbs. Once he feels comfortable with you, he turns into the sweetest cuddly little bug. He does well with both dogs and cats, and he is housebroken when his signals are understood and he’s given consistent attention. Deaf and blind dogs can still live very happy, full lives. They just need a little extra support Keeping their environment consistent and maintaining a predictable routine is key. Safety is also important, especially making sure stairs and hazards are properly blocked off. Since Bernard can’t see or hear, he relies heavily on touch and scent. Gentle, consistent touch helps build trust and communication, and familiar scents (like bedding or favorite items) help him feel secure and confident. A friendly “helper dog” in the home is a must for guidance, confidence, and companionship. Most importantly, he thrives on patience, love, and reassurance. Once he feels safe, he forms incredibly strong bonds and truly blossoms. If interested in Bernard, apply at www.allaboutthepawz.com Located in Youngstown, Ohio
