BERNADETTE is an adorable little miss with eyes that will melt your heart the minute you meet her!  One of momma Lily's litter, she and her siblings were barely alive under a porch in northeast KS.  The very caring local animal control officers trapped momma after much work, and were finally able to get Bernadette and her siblings to safety!

Bernadette is a shepherd-lab mix --- one of the best mixes around.  (The animal control officers saw the mating and know who dad was.)   She's going to be a wonderful family companion!  And beautiful.  Right now she's solid black with a teeny bit of white here and there, though that coloring could change somewhat as she grows.  She has a little bit of white on her upper chest, and a darling smidge of it just above the tip of her nose.  She's also got gorgeous fluffy fur!  She's a round, roly-poly, adorable pupster with personality plus.

Looking for a large-breed puppy?  Look no further - Bernadette's your girl!


 
DOGS:                      Yes, would love a doggie play buddy.
CATS:                        Yes.  Hasn't lived with one yet but as a puppy could learn to

IDEAL FAMILY:        An active family with the time and patience for a loving, goofy puppy.  A familly who is both willing and able to socialize and train, train, train her so she'll be the best behaved dog around, and welcome everywhere!
 

If you're looking for an adorable, snuggly, kissy puppy
and are willing to train this sweet furball
,
BERNADETTE may be your girl!
 

 

BERNADETTE's ADOPTION FEE: $250
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

  1. We're picky about our adopters. 
  2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
  3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
  4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
  5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
  6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
  7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
  8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
