Bernice is looking for a forever home to love her as much as she will love
them. Change is hard for this young lady after experiencing so many
changes already in her young life. Bernice takes her time to get to
know you-maybe even a month before she feels right at home. But once she
does, she is your loyal friend forever and that sweet and playful Saint
Bernard demeaner will shine through.

To help Bernice transition into a new home she is looking for a home
without other dogs and no kids under 15 please. Understand, she
loves kids, but due to the time and space she needs to settle into a new
home, it is best not to have young ones around.

Bernice loves being outside and going for long walks, and meeting the
neighbors. Bernice can be a bit fussy about the dogs she meets. She has
gotten along with most, but a few personalities rub her the wrong way.
She is working on that with her foster and trainer. Bernice is kenneled
during the day, but is fully house trained and well behaved when left on
her own for periods of time.

Overall, Bernice is a very affectionate and good natured-pooch. She just
needs the assurance and corrective guidance of a loving home to fully be
the sweet and playful dog that she wants to be.

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.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

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.
