About Bernard

Meet Bernard! This gentle giant is a shy guy who needs some time and patience to settle into a new environment. He thrives in a calm atmosphere and would do best in a mature home as the only dog. Bernard may feel uncomfortable around high-energy children and other dogs, but he's shown he can live harmoniously with cats. Currently, he's enjoying life in a loving foster home offsite, so contact his foster parent, Kathleen, at (434) 996-7004 for inquiries or to set up a visit. Please give her up to 24 hours to respond, as inquiries are tackled in the order they are received. A meet-and-greet is mandatory, and adopters should be ready to meet within 48 hours of inquiring. For everyone’s safety, current pets cannot meet Bernard until after the adoption is finalized. After meeting him, you'll have 24 hours to complete the adoption procedures at the HSPPR Adoptions Lobby. Each day is a new opportunity for Bernard to find his perfect home. Ready to welcome this sweet boy into your life?
