About Bernie

Bernie is a mid-sized 26 lb Australian Shepherd mix with a sweet spirit and playful energy that can light up any room. When he first arrived at the rescue, he was frightened and withdrawn. However, with patience and love, he has blossomed into an affectionate boy whose confidence grows each day. This delightful pup enjoys toys, butt scratches, and quality playtime with his human. He's potty-trained, crate-trained, and settles in quickly at home, even tucking himself in for the night. Bernie is well-behaved during car rides, content to sit quietly until he reaches his destination. Being an active breed, Bernie thrives best with an active family ready to include him in their adventures. He gets along well with other dogs and is quite playful, though he can be timid in new environments. He may feel apprehensive around men, making him most comfortable with a female owner or someone who can gently help him build confidence. He still needs a little guidance with his leash manners, so having an observant, understanding handler will help him navigate the world more comfortably. Bernie has made significant progress, and there's a special bond waiting to form with someone who will love watching him continue to blossom. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
