Description:

Meet Bernie!

A happy, handsome, boy with the softest fur coat and sweet demeanor. It usually takes Bernie a day or two to trust new people, but once he realizes you’re his friend, you are a friend for life! As for other dogs, he makes friends quickly. Cats are a little too intriguing, so a cat-free home would be best. Bernie is just starting to learn basic obedience commands and will need a family willing to continue with training. He is an energetic, young, dog who enjoys getting outside for walks and playtime. He can be a jumper when excited and would do best in a home with older children he won’t knock over. Bernie is house trained, but his queues to go out are subtle. He has been doing well in a crate at night and for up to 6 hours during the day while his foster family is away. He will bark when someone comes to the door, but is otherwise a quiet guy.

If you are looking for a young, active, dog who is always ready for adventure, then Bernie is your guy!

Foster Update
What a silly boy! Bernie loves to play in the yard and be outside more often than not. He loves the kids, other dogs and definitely chew toys. He does well in his kennel, but usually needs a treat for encouragement to go in. He has had no accidents, although his cues are subtle to go outside. He would do best in a home without little kids/toddlers as he is more big puppy than dog. Bernie has the sweetest smile and can’t wait to find his forever home!

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
