Story
Meet Bernard - small dog, big mystery, zero compliance.Bernard is a shih tzu/poodle mix with main character energy and absolutely no interest in your rules.Bernard is playful. Bernard is spunky. Bernard is...somewhere else mentally. We're not entirely sure he even understands English. Or Spanish. Or French. (seriously, we have employees and volunteers fluent in each...Bernard gives us NOTHING.) When you call his name, he DOES hear you - he just chooses to continue doing whatever extremely important thing he was already doing. And honestly? We respect it.This tiny enigma zips around with joyful chaos, inventing his own games, chasing toys like they owe him money, and generally living life on Bernard Time™️. He doesn't listen - he collaborates selectively. Training him may feel less like giving commands and more like negotiating with a very fluffy diplomat. But here's the thing: underneath the aloof, independent, "I'll get back to you" exterior is a ridiculously fun, lively little dog who keeps life interesting. He's playful, he's animated, and he brings just the right amount of delightful nonsense to your day. Bernard isn't for someone who wants blind obedience. Bernard is for someone who appreciates a free spirit. A quirky king. A small dog with big "I do what I want" energy.If you're ready to share your home with a spunky little wildcard who may or may not understand you but is absolutely doing his best - Bernard is waiting. Probably not paying attention. But waiting.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: Cream Weight: 16.375 Age: 2yrs 6mths 3wks
