Do you feel the Bern? We sure do! How can you avoid it when the friendliest, nicest Bernie is here waiting for you?! Bernie is a dollbaby - a 7 year old pittie mix who's a little underweight at 45 pounds (his healthy weight is closer to 50 pounds, meaning he's small even when he's healthy!). Bernie came to CCR from the Chicago city shelter where he had been found stray. Bernie immediately impressed everyone with his easygoing, sweetheart nature, so it wasn't a surprise when he was found to have a chip! Sadly, the microchip information led to a dead end, so Bernie is looking for a new home despite having one in the past. Bernie is just an easygoing, friendly, lovable adult gentleman who loves belly rubs, smooches, love nibbles, and pleasing his people. Since he's a little older than our average adoptable, Bernie has a little extra dose of mellow to offer his new owners - he's not a low energy dog, but he's mature and easy to exercise. A couple walks a day, some play time, and then lots of snoozes is all that Bernie requires! Bernie is good with other dogs, too, and we think he's the right personality to introduce to children and maybe even cats! He's just a friendly, low maintenance fellow with lots of love to give!

More about this shelter
CCRF was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in our city. In just over seven years, CCRF has saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies.
CCRF now assists the animals that are the MOST vulnerable in Midwest - the dogs and cats that are slated for euthanasia because they are too old, too young, injured, have disabilities, or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters.
