About Bernard II

Bernard II a.k.a. Bernie 4 Years Old Blind Flashy fawn Good with dogs No cats No farm animals Only larger/older children Fostered in Canby, OR Hi everyone, my name is Bernie, unless someone uses my full, then it's Bernard. Where do I begin? WHBR had me transferred up from CA after I was found and unclaimed as a stray. I'��ve done really well since arriving��. I was a little nervous at first, but my doggy friend Zara made me feel right at home. My foster mom and dad let me climb up on the couch with them and they loved on me and scratch on me and I really, really love that! So, I settled right in. You see, I am blind. I can't see anything at all. I follow your voice and I smell things. I also like to mouth things a lot, it's my way of 'seeing' things. I try really hard to be gentle when I do this, but occasionally I will pinch you with my baby teeth. I don't mean to hurt you, but I get so excited sometimes. At my foster home, there are other animals such as cats and horses. I can't control myself around them and I am afraid I will really hurt them if I get the chance. So, I cannot be in a home with any other animals besides dogs. I am a big, strong boy and I'm not sure it would be a very good idea to be around small children, until I learn some better manners. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone, and mom thinks I might by accident. I am ok on leash, until I smell another critter. A smaller person wouldn't be able to hold me back if that happens. I can't help myself��. Mom says we need to work on self control. I love to go outside for walks in the back yard; for now I have to stay on leash because of the cats and horses. I would love to be somewhere that I can be outside and off leash, and safe. That would make me so happy. My foster mom says I am very smart��I learned how to get around her house in only a couple of days. I can find the toys, the couch, and the food and water all by myself. I am really good in my crate, and I only bark when one of those pesky cats walks by. I sleep in my crate all night too, although sleeping on someone's bed might not be too bad either. Ssssshhhh don��t tell, but I have had the occasional accident in the house while getting my bearings, so please help me out when I first arrive. I am a very good eater and will clean my bowl every time. I am good in the car, I am good with strangers, and I love my fur sister. I adore my foster dad, I love to lay across his lap at night when he watches TV. He rubs my belly and gives me scratches and I am in heaven! My foster mom always reminds people to talk to me as they approach, that way I won't be startled. I have a nice new leash, bandana, and harness that lets people know I am a blind dog too. Would you like to be my furever family? I want so much to belong to someone who will love me and understands my shortcomings. I promise I will love you forever and ever if you give me a chance.
