Bernie
Great Pyrenees / Mixed (short coat) · Adult (4 years 2 months) · Male · Large · Dallas, TX
Notes from Saving Pyrs In Need
Adopt Bernie! He is a happy, smart, friendly, 4yr old male Great Pyrenees. Currently underweight, ribs showing, at 75lbs.
Bernie is friendly with new people and is happiest when around his foster family. He likes to settle down next to his foster mom while she works from home. He will do some yard exploring and then come back making sure his human is still there. He might be a little too energetic for little ones, worry he would knock them over when we gets a burst of zoomies.
Bernie is dog friendly! He loves trying to get the resident dog to play and would love a doggie companion or frequent outings with his forever family.
He is goofy and loves playing with ice cubes.
He does well when left home alone but does try to get on the bed so keep doors closed if you don't want him too. He is easily redirected with treats and is quickly picking up on house manners, like not to counter surf for burger buns or drink from his foster mom's water cup. To his credit, Bernie is very tall and many items are at his eye level.
He hops right up into the car and loves going on adventures or walks with you.
Bernie is a big lover ready for a family to love forever.
He is neutered and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $250. Currently he is in a foster home in Dallas, Texas. Out of state adopters will need to arrange their own transport.
