My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bernie, the charismatic hound mix born in June 2023, who's ready to steal your heart with his boundless personality! This lovable lad is a perfect blend of loyalty, playfulness, and intelligence, making him an ideal addition to any loving home. With his endearing goofiness and unwavering loyalty, Bernie is guaranteed to bring joy and laughter into your life. He's not just your average pup—he's a spirited companion who thrives on playtime, treats, and, most importantly, human affection. Bernie's foster family can't stop singing his praises! They describe him as an excellent pup who effortlessly charms everyone he meets. His playful nature shines through as he spends his days frolicking with his foster humans and siblings. But Bernie's charms extend beyond his playfulness—he's also a smart cookie with a knack for learning new tricks. Motivated by both playtime and food, Bernie eagerly awaits each training session, ready to showcase his intelligence and earn a tasty reward. In addition to his playful antics and quick wit, Bernie is also a social butterfly who gets along famously with other dogs and children. Weighing in at an estimated 40 lbs. fully grown, Bernie is the perfect size for cuddles, playtime, and everything in between. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Are you ready to open your heart and home to Bernie? Don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome this delightful hound mix into your family. Contact us at adopt@carolinapaws.com to meet Bernie.

More about this rescue

Carolina P.A.W.S. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization comprised of a network of compassionate Carolinians, all of whom are volunteers. We are devoted to helping abandoned and abused cats and dogs throughout the greater Charlotte area find loving homes. CPAWS does not have a facility and relies entirely on volunteer foster parents to care for an animal until we are able to find a pet their forever home. Our founding members have been collectively involved in animal rescue for over 20 years.

Carolina P.A.W.S. volunteers can be found "in the trenches," rescuing animals at high risk- those starving on the streets, languishing in shelters, and suffering in abusive situations. Each animal has a different past but our promise to them all is the same…a second chance. We provide them with medical attention, rehabilitate them physically and emotionally, and care for them in foster homes until they can be placed in loving permanent homes.

Along the way, we prepare them to become wonderful companions by taking the time to socialize them and patiently teaching them to trust. We also spay/neuter each one, provide all inoculations, and ensure that they are in perfect health before being made available for adoption.
