Bernie's Story

THE LOOK BERNIE GAVE US WHEN WE TOLD HER SHE DIDN’T HAVE A SINGLE APPLICATION.<br/>Yep. That look. <br/>“Excuse me? Not ONE?”<br/>We’re just as confused as you are, Bernie.<br/>Bernice, aka Bernie, is only about a year old, and this gorgeous girl is still waiting for someone to choose her.<br/>And here’s the thing about Bernie: when she bonds with her person, she REALLY bonds. <br/>She knows her favorite volunteers. She recognizes their cars. She starts singing the song of her people when she sees them coming. She doesn’t do casual acquaintances. Bernie is looking for her person, and once you’re hers, you’re HERS.<br/>There is one important thing her future family needs to know:<br/>**Bernie needs to be the ONLY PET in the home.**<br/>No other dogs. No cats. Just Bernie.<br/>She’d also do best with no small children, a secure fenced yard, and someone who understands that Huskies come with brains, opinions, energy, and occasionally a full theatrical production. <br/>But in return?<br/>You get a dog who will absolutely adore you. A best friend who wants to be part of your life and who loves her people with her whole heart.<br/>Surely there’s a Husky person out there who has room for one very beautiful, very devoted, slightly dramatic best friend. <br/>Because we really don't want to have to tell Bernie she STILL doesn't have an application. We’ve seen the look. <br/>Please fill out the adoption application pinned at the top of our page.<br/>(All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.)<br/>The best way to meet Bernie is to fill out an adoption application. Once approved, the team will reach out to schedule a meet and greet.
