About Bernie

Bernie is a senior Jack Russell Terrier mix who recently entered our care when his previous owner could no longer keep him. He's adjusting well, and our staff is getting to know his personality. While Bernie may have some training from his previous home, we can't guarantee that every behavior will transfer to a new environment. He's awaiting veterinary evaluations and interactions with other animals to ensure a smooth transition. If you're intrigued by Bernie, please submit an adoption questionnaire. Keep in mind that our process operates on a first-come, best-match basis, and we cannot hold pets. It's important for all household members, including children and other dogs, to meet him to confirm it's a good fit. If you do find that connection, we encourage same-day adoptions. Bernie's adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and more to help you start off right. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
