Bernie

Bernese Mountain Dog · Male

Bernie is an approximately eight-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog mix. He has already learned a great deal with us and is an extremely loving and attentive companion. He wants to be challenged and loves long walks above all else. Bernie manages retrieval and search games with great enthusiasm and a lot of energy and patience. He masters the basic commands perfectly and walks beautifully on a leash when he has a firm reference person he likes and respects. But cozy cuddle hours are also very important to Bernie and every minute he can spend with his beloved person is sacred to him. He is very active and has good endurance, but should also be mentally well-utilized. We are looking for very experienced people who have a lot of time and a lot of fun with training, various games and long walks for Bernie. If you are interested and would like to get to know our dear Bernie, please contact us by phone at . We would be very happy to hear from you on our answering machine. If you leave us a callback number, we will be happy to call you back and also arrange a visit with you.

Bernie ist ein etwa acht Jahre alter Berner Sennenhund Mischling. Mittlerweile hat er bereits sehr viel bei uns gelernt und ist ein überaus liebevoller und aufmerksamer Begleiter. Er möchte gefordert werden und liebt lange Spaziergänge über alles. Apportier- und Suchspiele managed unser Bernie voller Begeisterung und mit jeder Menge Energie und Geduld. Er beherrscht die Grundkommandos bestens und läuft wunderbar an der Leine, wenn er eine feste Bezugsperson hat, die er mag und respektiert. Aber auch gemütliche Kuschelstunden sind für Bernie sehr wichtig und jede Minute, die er am Tag mit seinem geliebten Menschen verbringen kann, ist für ihn heilig. Er ist sehr aktiv und hat eine gute Ausdauer, sollte allerdings auch mental gut ausgelastet werden. Für Bernie suchen wir sehr erfahrene Menschen, die viel Zeit und jede Menge Freude an Training, verschiedenen Spielen und langen Spaziergängen haben. Wenn Sie Interesse haben und unseren lieben Bernie kennenlernen möchten, melden Sie sich bitte telefonisch bei uns unter .

About Bernie

What life with Bernie looks like

Bernie is an adult bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Tierheim Berg e.V. in Berg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bernie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bernie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berg e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bernie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bernie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berg e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bernie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bernie isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Berg e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bernie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
