Bernie is a pleasant, silly, easygoing fellow. He is always happy to see his people. He is a goofy, oversized puppy. His legs and tail just flop in different directions. Bernie likes dogs and kids, and is not much interested in cats.

He loves being outside where he just watches the world go by. He has not wandered or chased anything ("chasing" would take too much energy).

He likes squeaky toys and will throw the toy in the air, twist and pounce on it. He also loves to play tug-o-war with a rope toy, a stuffed toy, or anything he brings to you to tug on. He does not wrestle or play much with other dogs, and one thing about Bernie - he will get a bit jealous over toys and the attention from people, so if he were an only dog, he would love that, as he would get all the attention himself.

One of his favorite things is to back up into you for a rump scratch. Ohhh, he loves that! Bernie is housebroken, and has been easy to have around. He knows his basic commands.

Thank You!

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.
