My story

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

Our dear Sadie is ready for a forever home to call her own. She is thought to be around 2 years old. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed, has a microchip and overall in great health. She weighs 66 pounds, she needs to gain maybe 10 pounds.

Sadie spent her short life in a puppy mill type situation. Sadie is a sweet loving girl. She needs time to trust and move forward. She is timid and shy but that is normal for Berners like Sadie who have spent their lives just having pups. She really does not care for loud male voices, she would do best with more mild manner males. Her forever family should be patient, patient, patient with her. While at the same time work with her to bring her forward a few steps each day. Her adopter will need to teach her all of those pesky house manners. She needs an adopter who will slowly introduce her to the world since it is all new to her. For this reason she is considered a flight risk at this time and requires a yard with 6 ft fencing.

Sadie is not a fan of small animals of any shape or type, so no cats, small dogs or any other small animals in the home. She seems to do okay with big dogs. She is currently living with 2 male Berners. She is slowly starting to play with the Berners.

She has never lived with small children. Small children will be too much for her to handle. Teenagers should be fine.

Once Sadie begins to trust and bond with you, she is a love bug. She will lay with you for hours on the couch for pets. Sadie is a sweet girl who wants to forever home to call her own, one that will work with her and slowly introduce her to the world.

We do not transport our Berners. Adopter should plan to travel to Sadie's foster home in Morrisville, PA to pick her up. Her adoption fee is $450.00.

If you think Sadie just might be the girl for you, please complete our adoption application and submit to: info@bfwrescue.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

To adopt from BFW Rescue Inc, all potential adopters must complete an adoption application and submit it for review. Once the application is reviewed and it appears the potential adopter will be a good match for the dog, an interview and home inspection will be scheduled. If all goes well with the first interview and home inspection, a second interview with a different member of our group will be scheduled. If it is agreed by both interviewers that the potential adopted is a match for the dog, the adoption will move forward. There is an adoption contract to be signed and return. There is also an adoption donation of normally $450, may vary from dog to dog. Once both the signed adoption contract and adoption donation have been received, all medical records and other information about the dog will be released to the adopted. We do not transport our dogs, all adopters must make arrangements to pick adopted dog up from its foster home.

More about this rescue

BFW Rescue Inc is a 501(c)3 non-profit organizaation dedicated to helping Bernese Mountain Dogs in need. We are staffed by volunteers from coast to coast who ensure each Berner receives medical care, professional training if needed and general care. All Bernese Mountain Dogs are placed in a foster home.

Our rescues come in to our care from various circumstances. Some are from shelters across the country, some are from families who could no longer care for them and some are even found on the streets.

No matter what their beginnings were, our goal is to make sure they find happy loving homes where they are part of the family.
