About Sable

Meet Sable! This beautiful two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog is looking for a calm and loving home where she can feel secure and settle in at her own pace. Weighing in at 57 lbs, Sable is a sweet, laid-back girl who takes some time to warm up to new people. She tends to be shy, especially around men, so she's in need of a patient family willing to give her the time and space to build trust. Sable is house-trained and appreciates having her crate as a safe space, but she also loves snuggling in bed with her foster family. Although she hasn't quite figured out how to play with other dogs, she's indifferent to them and would do well with a calm canine companion. A quieter environment without small children would suit her best, providing the peace she needs to thrive. With the right family, who understands her needs, Sable has so much potential to develop into a loyal and affectionate friend. Her minimum adoption fee is $400, plus a $15 registration fee for rabies if she's adopted by a McLean County resident. Visit her soon, and discover all the joy she can bring into your life!
