My story

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

Meet Bernie – 65 lb Wolfadoodle, Once-in-a-Lifetime Companion

2½-year-old Irish Wolfhound × Poodle | Neutered Male | Low-shedding velvet coat

Bernie is the dog people stop on the street to meet — tall, wavy-haired, soulful eyes, and a gentle presence that makes everyone whisper “What kind of dog IS that?!”

With his family, Bernie is pure love:

    •    A total velcro dog who wants to be wherever you are (preferably touching you)

    •    Lives for pets, lean-ins, and quiet “I’m home!” celebrations

    •    A complete gentleman when left alone — no destruction, no chewing, just waits patiently by the door for your return

    •    Jumps happily into the car, head out the window, tongue flapping like a flag of joy

Bernie is brilliant and highly trainable:

    •    Hyper-intelligent — learns rules and commands in 1-2 repetitions

    •    Respects “off furniture,” “leave it,” boundaries, etc., the moment you set them

    •    Strong recall and stops mid-chase with a single verbal correction (yes, even when a squirrel or cat darts by)

    •    Same with chickens — he’ll think about it, but one calm “no” and he chooses you instead

Personality notes (because honesty gets the right home):

    •    Shy with some new people at first, but warms up in minutes with calm introductions

    •    Reactive to very loud/rambunctious kids, fireworks, popping balloons — he’s sensitive and will do best in a quieter, adult or older-kids home

    •    Protective once he knows his territory — barks to alert at strangers at the door or unusual sounds (a true “I’ve got your back” guard dog without aggression)

    •    Plays beautifully with other dogs and loves doggy friends

Bernie’s non-negotiables for happiness:

    •    A securely fenced yard for daily zoomies and fetch marathons (this young man has energy to burn!)

    •    Daily walks and playtime — he’s athletic and joyful

    •    A calm, loving home that understands his big heart comes in a sensitive package

    •    Someone who wants a loyal shadow who chooses you over everything else in the world

If you’re looking for a breathtaking, brilliant, devoted best friend who will love you harder than any dog you’ve ever met — and who just needs the right calm, active forever family to shine — Bernie is your dog.

He’s truly special. He won’t last long. Apply today and get ready to have your heart permanently claimed by 65 lbs of wavy-coated magic.

More about this rescue

Formed in 2017, One Planet Rescue may be a new rescue organization, but founder Farah Ravon, is far from new to the rescue community.


Farah’s extensive experience volunteering for local rescue organizations, as well as her latest work as the U.S. Representative, and Foreign Adoption Coordinator for Vafa Animal Shelter the last 6+ years, provided experience with rescuing animals from around the world.

Here at One Planet Rescue, our work is focused on injured and special needs dogs and cats who require immediate care. Because many of these dogs and cats do come from abroad, we are diligent about fully vaccinating, and spay/neuter prior to our rescue transport. (Sole exceptions would be puppies or kittens).

Although we would never turn down a local case, when rescuing abroad, we always open each case with the requirement of, foster to adopt. This protocol is set in place to confirm the rescue is the right fit for the family interested, and if they are not the right fit the rescue will be returned back to a One Planet Rescue foster.

One Planet Rescue does not have a local facility, rather individual sponsorships makes it possible for us to rescue dogs and cats from all over the world. We also work solely with foster families, this frees up donation funds to go directly to the many costs pertaining to the pets welfare. Domestic transportation, vet bills, foster care, are just some of these examples.
