Meet Bernie

Bernie is an incredibly sweet, easygoing boy who believes life should move at a calm and comfortable pace. He is happiest stretched out in a cozy bed or curled up beside his person, enjoying a long, peaceful nap. He loves being near his people, enjoys being held, and offers quiet companionship without being demanding.

Energy and Personality

Bernie is truly a low energy dog. He prefers lounging and gentle moments over busy activity. Short walks and a little playtime with his favorite toys are just right for him, and then he is content to settle back down. He thrives in calm, predictable environments and does best when life feels steady and relaxed.

Training and Behavior

Bernie is house trained, crate trained, and doing very well with leash training. He continues to improve on walks and now only occasionally barks at sudden noises outside. He has shown how adaptable and eager to learn he is when given gentle guidance.

He knows basic cues including come, stay, and no, and understands his crate routine well. Bernie truly wants to do the right thing and responds beautifully to structure and consistency.

Social Life

Bernie enjoys being near his people but is not clingy. He is comfortable spending time on his own and settles easily when left alone. He prefers quiet companionship and gentle affection rather than constant activity.

Best Home Fit

Bernie will thrive in a quiet, low traffic home with someone who appreciates a relaxed, easygoing dog. He is perfect for a person or couple who enjoys peaceful evenings, slow walks, and cozy time at home. A household that respects his space and values calm energy will help him feel safe and confident.

Bernie is ready to offer his gentle heart, steady presence, and loyal companionship to the right home.
