Bern is a lovely senior poodle mix residing in Columbia, SC. She is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. Despite being 8-10 years old, she remains playful and friendly. She is house trained and has a small frame, perfect for cozying up on the couch. While she has one eye, this charming lady is ready to bloom in her new home.

About Bern

Meet Bern! This sweet lady is an 8- to 10-year-old poodle mix who was abandoned at a rural shelter, left behind without a thought. Thankfully, we rescued her and started the care she badly needed, including shaving off the mats that covered her. Now in a foster home, Bern is being pampered and is slowly coming out of her shell. She had an eye injury that resulted in the removal of one eye, but that doesn't seem to faze her one bit. Bern is ready to leave her past behind and enjoy her golden years in comfort and love. This gentle soul gets along well with other dogs, making her an ideal companion. She deserves a dedicated forever home where she can truly thrive. Could that be with you? What are you waiting for?
