About Bernie

Bernie is a lively 4-year-old Terrier mix weighing around 18 pounds. With a blend of charm, cleverness, and a bit of sass, he's all about being your loyal companion. Bernie adores his people, loves going for leash walks, and embraces the joy of treats, which makes him quite trainable—almost anything can be negotiated with a good snack. However, being a Terrier, he holds onto that spirited attitude. He can be reactive about his belongings or during surprises, so it's vital he finds a family that's ready to understand his unique quirks and offer guidance. Ideally, Bernie should be the only dog in the home and would thrive in a household without small children. If you want a witty, affectionate little guy with loads of personality, Bernie might just be the perfect match for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
