 Adoptable Bernese Mountain Dogs


GARY | TEXAS
Gary is a big, lanky boy who is sweet and full of life. He appears to get along with other dogs but has a bit of a goofy gait and needs to gain some weight. He's 107 lbs. now, so he's not a small Berner. He appears to be in the 2-5 year old range. He was pulled from the dog pound in Garland, Texas when no one stepped up to claim him. We helped out the Lone Star Club with this boy because they had no foster homes for him. Because of his size, Gary needs to go to a home without young children, however, older kids are fine.

MOSBY | ADOPTED!
Mosby has been adopted! Please check back often for new adoptable BARC dogs.
 
Mosby is a very sweet 3 year-old boy.  He sticks close to his foster parents in the house, following us from room to room, laying at our feet or getting in close for snuggles.  Mosby was socially neglected for the first few years of his life, so he spooks easily, and he is anxious around new people and in new situations.  With time and love, his confidence will improve.  Mosby is crate trained, house trained and very friendly with dogs and cats.  Mosby's forever home will need a secure fence and a resident confident/well-socialized dog to help him learn the ropes.
 


Although safe, these dogs may be undergoing medical treatment, temperament testing, and/or foster placement for socialization.  If you are interested in one of our special babies, we ask that you read the FAQ's and then complete the adoption application.  Questions and applications can be sent to our Board Member, Linda Palma.    We have a high volume of applications to review and are very serious about where our rescues are placed, so please allow at least two weeks for our committee members to review the application.

Please also note, many of our rescues are placed quickly and don't even make it to our website for posting...that's a great thing!

Prior to placement all BARC dogs are:  spayed or neutered; microchipped; checked for heartworms and parasites and treated if necessary; brought up-to-date on all vaccinations, in some cases boosters may be necessary; and are on heartworm and flea/tick preventives.  In the event that a puppy is too young or a dog too ill to be spayed or neutered prior to placement, the contract will require the adopter to spay/neuter the dog within a reasonable timeframe.
