Here's what the humans have to say about me:
KENNY - ID# A006581
KENNY is a neutered male, tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog. The shelter thinks Kenny was about 2 years and 6 months old when he arrived on August 2, 2006 as a lost or stray dog. Kenny is a VERY friendly, nice dog. He is sweet, knows his commands and is good natured. This is a wonderful dog!
BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG HISTORY:
The Bernese Mountain Dog is aristocratic in appearance, and ancient in lineage. The breed has long been at home on the farms in the midland of Switzerland. One of the four varieties of Swiss Mountain Dogs, the Bernese known in its native land as the Berner Sennenhund, shares similar distinctive coloring with three other varieties, but is the only one with a long, silky coat. These dogs worked as drovers and draft dogs as well as watchdogs in the farmyards mainly in the Canton of Berne.
The Bernese is an extremely hardy dog, and needs only a small amount of daily grooming to maintain his coat. The breed desires human companionship, and is a willing and quick learner. The Bernese Mountain Dog was first brought to the United States in 1926.
We always adopt to the best home, not necessarily the first application. NOTE: Renters, you will need landlord approval before the pet is released to you for adoption.
Dog adoptions are $100 and include spay or neuter, current shots, flea treatment if required, "New Owner" folder packed full of helpful information, 1-free (from our list) veterinary basic health examination within 5 days of adoption, and microchip.
Our adopted dogs come with a SPECIAL BONUS of up to $80.00 toward training expenses within 6 months of adoption. We hope to provide a smooth and lasting transition into your household. Ask for complete details at the time you adopt your new companion dog.
