About Beatrice

Meet Beatrice, a 4-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog ready for her new beginning. She originally came to Wags 2 Wishes as a breeder release, and despite her past, Beatrice has a gentle, loving side that’s beginning to show more each day. Beatrice thrives on affection, seeking it out and enjoying gentle attention. She is still learning the ways of the world, and her ideal family will be patient, understanding, and willing to help her adjust to life as a beloved pet. Everyday experiences—household routines, unfamiliar sounds, and even house training—might be new for her. With consistent love and encouragement, Beatrice can build confidence at her own pace. Though she seeks affection now, she will need some time to fully settle into her new home. Beatrice gets along well with other dogs and children, making her a great fit for a loving family. She’s already spayed and up to date on vaccinations, but she does have a medical procedure scheduled for a mass removal. Please check in with our adoption specialists for updates about her care. Could you be the one to give Beatrice the fresh start she deserves? She’s looking for someone to celebrate her small victories and to love her just as she is. Come and meet Beatrice at Wags 2 Wishes Animal Rescue in Minooka, IL. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
