Meet Bernadette! This sweet 3-year-old girl is ready to find a family of her own! We believe she's a Beagle/Hound mix, complete with long, silky ears that she absolutely loves to have scratched. If you're looking for a cuddle buddy, she's your girl. She loves to stay close to her people, snuggle up, and take cozy naps by your side.



She has a gentle, affectionate personality and already knows several basic commands, including sit, lay down, and shake. She's incredibly food motivated, making her eager to learn and highly trainable. We're currently working on leash manners, and she's making great progress.



Like many hounds, she has plenty to say! Her hilarious Chewbacca-like "talking" and signature hound voice keep us laughing every day. She'll do best with someone who appreciates the vocal, scent-driven nature of hound breeds.



She loves water and regularly takes a dip in the kiddie pool.



She has fit seamlessly into her foster's home with their resident pets (dogs and cats) Because she enjoys canine companionship and doesn't love being alone, she'd thrive in a home with another friendly dog or with someone who is home much of the day.



She is potty trained and has overcome so much already. We don't know how long she survived as a stray, but that experience left her with some food insecurity. She can be very focused on food, but with consistency and reassurance, she's continuing to build confidence and trust.



If you're looking for a loyal shadow and a sweet, goofy companion who will keep you smiling this lovable hound might just be your perfect match.



Bernadette was positive for 2 tick-borne diseases and is on medication until the end of the month. These are not contagious to other animals or humans.
