Bernice

Meet Bernice, a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog weighing 56 pounds. This beautiful girl is a quiet, sensitive soul who takes a little time to feel comfortable in new situations. She's shy and fearful at first, but once she begins to trust you, you'll discover just how loyal and devoted she can be.

Bernice is happiest when she's near her person and will happily follow you around the house. She's house-trained, does well in her crate once settled inside, and enjoys spending time outside in the yard. She's also working on appropriate chew toys and discovering that bones make pretty great entertainment!

Bernice will need an adults-only home with experienced dog owners and would do best as the only dog in the household. She's become protective of her person, so she'd benefit from a home where she can enjoy one-on-one attention without other dogs in the mix. She's also fearful enough to run from unfamiliar people and can slip out of a collar or harness, so a securely fenced yard and careful handling with secure equipment are absolute musts.

Bernice has so much potential to become an incredible companion. She doesn't need someone to rush her or expect her to be everyone's best friend right away. She needs someone willing to be patient, earn her trust, and give her the security to blossom at her own pace. In return, she has the potential to give you a whole lot of loyalty and love.

Her minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 rabies registration fee, if 4 months or older, for McLean County residents.

She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
