Meet Bernadette!
Bernadette came to us from another shelter that found her in horrible condition-- severely neglected and malnourished. If you're interested in her history, ask to see her before pictures. We spent a lot of time getting her the best vet care to get her feeling like herself again! This included intensive baths, various different medications, and topical treatments. She's currently on prescription food and medication to help combat her skin issues. We are determined to see her challenges through, even post-adoption.
Bernie has had a long struggle to get to where she is, but she doesn't let her past get her down. She is truly just a puppy stuck in a big dog's body. She is one of the sweetest, most dorkiest dogs you'll ever meet. This big baby loves to sit in your lap despite her size, and will lean herself into you when she wants attention. This older gal even knows some tricks-- her favorite to do is "paw"!
She seems to do really well with most other dogs. She's met many, both in and out of the shelter setting. She's also shown us that she's amazing with cats and small animals. Even teeny tiny bottle fed kittens! Truly a gentle giant.
