About Berm

Berm is a sweet and cuddly guy who brings a warm presence but is shy and anxious around new people. He takes a little time to warm up, making him a true cuddle bug with those in his circle of trust. He enjoys wearing sweaters, going on long walks, beach adventures, and playing fetch with squeaky toys. You'll also find him burrowing under blankets or stealing socks for fun. He needs a loving and patient family in a calm environment, ideally one with a dog buddy to help him cope with his isolation anxiety. Older, calmer kids are a good match for him. Berm is good with bathroom and leash training and has completed obedience training, showing off his skills as a daycare pup. This sweet boy requires some decompression time to adjust and he thrives with love and encouragement. His ideal home includes a work-from-home scenario or a person who can be with him most of the time. A gentle dog sibling is essential to help him feel secure.
