Bernadette is a mixed breed, combining Poodle and Fox Terrier traits, and she has a beautiful black coat. As she adjusts to her new life, she will thrive with a family that can provide her with the exercise, socialization, and positive reinforcement training she deserves. After adoption, it's essential to give her the time she needs to settle into her new home.
