About Bernie

Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic - ARMA is happy to announce that Bernie is available for adoption and we are happy to accept applications for him! This handsome guy is Bernie. He is a two-year-old red-tri Aussie who was surrendered to a high kill shelter in Mississippi and thankfully made his way to ARMA. Bernie is your typical 2 year old adolescent Aussie - full of himself, while also being cuddly and delightful. Like any teenage Aussie Bernie's got tons of energy and is VERY strong. Before coming to ARMA, Bernie had a rocky start. His original owners realized that young Aussies are a lot of work and pretty expensive, so he never got any training. A country boy at heart, we've learned that Bernie prefers grass to asphalt and wide-open spaces to urban settings. One on one, Bernie does well with all humans, dogs and cats! He is, however, reactive to the sights and movements (bikes, buses, motorcycles) of dense urban areas - but he's working on it and getting better every day -after all, he's a smart Aussie! Bernie is currently 54lbs. He is neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on all vaccinations. He's a big fan of belly rubs and toys. The ideal home for Bernie is ACTIVE with plenty of room to run. He'd be a GREAT hiking or running partner and he'd excel at dog sports. A fenced yard would be great, as long as there are opportunities for socialization and adventure. A dog or cat pal would be an added bonus. Bernie is looking for a human with plenty of time and energy to devote to HIM and his ongoing development. ARMA will not consider urban homes or homes with young kids for Bernie. If you're an approved ARMA adopter and you check Bernie's boxes contact the ARMA volunteer with whom you've been working.
