My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bernie! She is a gorgeous 7 year old pit mix looking for her FUREVER home! She has such a love for life and a desire to give so much love to those she interacts with!

We rescued Bernie after she found herself as a stray at the local shelter and was going to be euthanized. She has been spayed, is in on monthly flea/tick/HW preventative, and gets weekly baths. She is prone to lots of skin issues and as a result would do best in a home environment and not a boarding facility with a foster or owner that is very attentive. Bernie has never let this little bump in the road stop her from enjoying her newfound freedom. She loves baths, treats, chew bones and will tell you when it's time to feed her as she is extremely food motivated!

Bernie is an active girl who loves to go on walks and play with any toy in sight! When it is time to relax for the day, you can find Bernie cuddled up next to her humans begging for belly rubs, or chewing on a bone. She is crate trained and does well staying by herself if kept occupied with toys, bones or kongs. She will thank you with a big smile and unwavering loyalty!

She takes weekly outings in public, rides great in a car, and is doing great socializing and working on a leash. Hold on tight if you see a squirrel though!

While she is highly allergic to cats and cannot be in a home with them, she loves kids and humans! She likes other dogs of all sizes but requires a slow introduction to any canine companion as she enjoys playing gregariously.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Interested adopter fills out an application online.

Adoption team reviews application, completes vet and landlord checks.

Adoption team will notify applicant if they are approved or declined, or if we need to redirect to a pet that is a better fit for the applicant or if the pet they applied for has other applicants in front of them.

If approved, adoption team will send an email connecting foster parent to adopter. We ask that the applicant and foster parent make initial contact within 48 hours of the meet & greet email going out.

If it seems like a fit over the phone then foster parents and potential adopter will set up a home visit.

After meet and greet, the foster and potential adopter will let the adoption team know how they would each like to proceed.

Note: We do not do onsite adoptions. Foster pets will return to the foster home after the meet and greet is complete, even if both parties want to move forward with adoption.

If a fit for both parties, the adoption team will send the adopter a link for adoption fee payment and an adoption contract.

Adoption team will let foster know once the adoption is complete and you are then free to coordinate handoff!
