Bernese Mountain Dog puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Meet Hazel ******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Hazel is a spayed, 8 month old female Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix, currently weighing around 60lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Looking for a goofy, sweet ball of floof? Then Hazel is your girl! This adorable puppy LOVES other dogs, toys and food. She is crate and potty trained and has done well around the older kids she’s met. Because she wants ALL of the toys, older kids may be a better fit in her new home. Hazel would love an active family to help her burn off her puppy energy and to help her with basic manners and training. She’ll entertain you with her antics and house parkour and will make sure dinner is always right on time! Please let us know if Hazel could be your new best friend and adventure buddy! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** We do not know Hazel’s exact breed but we suspect she will be a large dog once fully grown. Her best fit will be with a family that understands what it means to raise a big, active pup into a well-mannered adult. We’re looking for adopters who will provide her with regular socialization, positive training, and plenty of outlets for exercise, play, and enrichment. For puppies this age, someone needs to be home more than they are away as crating them for long periods of time is not conducive for their developmental needs. If you work outside of the home longer than 4 hours, please explain who will is available to spend time with this puppy while you are away. If that information is not included, we will not consider your application. Interested in applying to adopt her?

Meet Bear — the softest, sweetest, most tenderhearted big baby you’ll ever meet. At just seven months old, this gentle Pyrenees/Lab mix (we think!) is already winning hearts everywhere he goes. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves to lean in for pets, gives the sweetest kisses, and melts into anyone who offers him attention. He’s a people-lover through and through, and he greets new friends with a wagging tail and that soft, soulful expression that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever. Bear is wonderfully dog-friendly and loves to play, especially with pups who enjoy chase games or gentle romps. His favorite move? A joyful little bunny hop—his signature style thanks to past injuries to both hind legs. He’s fully healed now, but the result is his charming, wobbly bounce that only makes him more lovable. He can still play, explore, and enjoy life, but he sometimes runs out of gas sooner than other dogs. A female canine buddy who’s kind, patient, and medium-energy would be his perfect match. Watch Bear’s loving personality and hoppies in action! https://youtu.be/XjuArBJSe6U?si=jCr69j-N8uCWRb8w Despite being a big puppy, Bear is already impressively well-mannered. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He checks in with his handler, leans into you as he strolls by your side, and responds easily to light corrections. He’s calm, social, and happy in new places and around new people. He enjoyed his assessment day so much you’d think it was his own meet-and-greet event. Bear’s cat test showed he was politely avoidant—never pushy, and never rude. He was a tad distracted so a retest, and even an overnight stay with kitty friends for Bear would be put in action for cats in a future home. We always want to ensure 100% approval from the kitty committee, just to be sure everyone feels comfortable. He could thrive in almost any home—house, backyard, cozy apartment, busy family life, or quieter environment. The one must-have? A first-floor apartment only, simply because he shouldn’t be doing flights of stairs with his special legs. Other than that, this boy is so easygoing and affectionate that he adjusts beautifully. Bear would likely be wonderful with children due to his gentle, loving nature, but an official kid test can be done before adoption to be certain. He’s still a puppy, so ongoing training and socialization will be important, but he’s already starting from a truly excellent foundation, but he is so ready to learn and grow! Especially if it’s for his forever family! Sweet, soft, cuddly, gentle, affectionate, dog-friendly, well-trained, funny little bunny-hop walk, and a heart made of gold—Bear is the kind of dog who lights up a home. He’s ready to find his people, love them endlessly, and bring so much joy into their lives. If you want a best friend who leans in close, adores you with his whole wiggly body, and makes every day sweeter just by being there… Bear is your boy.
