BERNARD

Bulldog mix male, 8 years young and 47 adorable pounds

Bernard is looking for a quiet home where he can spend his golden years being loved, sleeping on a soft doggie bed (or yours…he’s willing to share…) and soak up the sun, listen to the birds…. Bernard is mellow indoors, loves toys, treats, and naps! Due to food guarding with other dogs, he will need to be the only pet in the home.

There are so many reasons to adopt a senior dog—compared to their youthful counterparts, older dogs tend to be more relaxed and less energetic. They're often less reactive and more content with simple pleasures like a leisurely walk or a nap in a sunny spot. This isn’t just about diminished physical energy; it also points to a mental shift toward a more laid-back approach to life!

Predictability is one of the major benefits of caring for an older dog. By this stage in their lives, their personality is well-formed. You'll get an immediate understanding of their likes, dislikes, quirks, and habits. This predictability makes it easier to find a dog that matches your lifestyle and household. There’s lots of information about adopting senior dogs online.
