Actually you can call me Saint Bernice if you want to. That is my official name because Foster mom’s grand-boy thought I looked like a Saint Bernard. Don’t worry, I will not be that big or fuzzy!
I was born to a medium sized shepherd looking mom named Jypsy, and was one of 12 puppies! Mom wasn’t in the best shape to raise 12 puppies so 6 of us were farmed out to bottle feeders so mom would have enough to feed our 6 siblings! That was a great plan so we could all get enough to eat and grow healthy and strong!
My birthday is October 6th, 2025 and I have my surgery scheduled for December 8th already to get my baby making bits removed, so I don’t have to worry about having 12 babies like my mom did. I don’t know how she did that!! Sounds painful!!
I will most likely be a medium sized dog, with medium length hair as I am a little furry right now. I love to play with my sibling B.B., and love the other dogs in my foster mom’s house. But I really love it when we can play with the people in the house. They give us toys and all sorts of things to play with and we love to play chase with the chihuahua who lives here too. Life is very fun right now!
I am looking to find a forever home in my future as I will be wanting a family of my own, and not just a borrowed one in a foster home. If you are looking for a great looking puppy who is very fun and fun loving, please consider adopting me! I want to home to be loved in, and will love you forever in return!!

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...
