Meet Bernard (I respond to Rocky). I was originally named Bernard back in December 2023 by my foster. Back then I was just a little elf prior to being adopted. Unfortunately my prior owner relocated and after being in a vacant home for 10 months, I found myself back looking for my furever person/family.
I was cared for by very nice people while waiting for my prior family to come home. I'm a very good boy! House broken, crate trained and VERY good with other dogs. I love snuggling and missed what true love felt like.
My foster family has big and small dogs that I enjoy playing with along with going to doggie daycare. I'm learning good play manners I hadn't needed to know prior and I take correct very well.
Bernard (Rocky) shares toys, food and treats like a champ. He's looking for his furever family that will give him unconditional love.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
