Bernie & Benji's Story
Meet Bernie & Benji – A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home<br/><br/>Bernie and Benji are two loving, senior gentlemen who recently lost their beloved owner and are now looking for a new family to love them just as much as she did. These two have spent their lives together, and because Bernie relies on Benji for confidence and security, they must be adopted as a bonded pair.<br/><br/>About Bernie<br/> • Breed: Sheltie mix<br/> • Age: ~10 years old<br/> • Personality: Shy, submissive, and incredibly loyal once he bonds with his person. He’s a gentle soul who thrives on stability and routine.<br/> • Housebroken & Not Used to Crates: Bernie has always been a well-mannered pup and has never needed to be crated.<br/> • Needs Benji: While Bernie is a sweet and loving boy, he gains his confidence from having Benji by his side.<br/><br/>About Benji<br/> • Breed: Terrier/Poodle mix<br/> • Age: ~10 years old<br/> • Personality: Outgoing, clownish, and full of life. Benji is a social butterfly who loves to run, play, and keep everyone entertained.<br/> • Housebroken & Not Used to Crates: Benji has been a free spirit and has never needed to be crated in his previous home.<br/> • Life of the Party: Benji loves adventure and sometimes enjoys leading his people on a playful chase.<br/><br/>Together, these two make the perfect duo—Benji brings the fun and confidence, while Bernie brings the quiet devotion. Because of their close bond, they will only be adopted together—no exceptions. Bernie is already adjusting to losing his mom, and we will not separate him from his brother, as their happiness is our top priority.<br/><br/>Ideal Home for Bernie & Benji<br/> • A calm and loving environment with a fenced yard where they can safely explore<br/> • A laid-back family or individual who will respect their routine and offer them the patience they need to settle in<br/> • Other pets are likely okay, as neither Bernie nor Benji has shown aggression<br/> • They are not used to young children, so a home with older kids or adults would be best<br/><br/>These boys have been through a lot, and now they just need a second chance at love and stability.
