Story
Meet Bumi.  This gorgeous boy is a Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mix, also known as a Golden Mountain Dog. His original family purchased him from a breeder, but our vet believes they were allergic and unable to continue caring for him. Their loss is truly someone else’s gain because Bumi is an AWESOME dog. Bumi is being fostered by Ramya and her family, which includes a 10-year-old son, two large dogs, and three cats, and he does well with everyone. He loves kids and has been fantastic with their son and his friends. With dogs, he’s polite, adaptable, and reads the room well. He’s happy to play with the energetic pup, and respectful with the other dog who prefers space. He’s also good with cats (even though they’re still keeping their distance ). Bumi gets daily walks and has great leash manners; he even knows heel! He meets new people and dogs without issue and handles an active household with ease. Ramya describes him as playful, affectionate, and a total snuggler, but not pushy about attention. He also has excellent house manners: fully housetrained, crate-trained, and even chooses to nap in his crate on his own. Overall, Bumi is a big, sweet, happy-go-lucky boy who would make an amazing family dog.   NOTE: Bumi will be coming to town on 12/6 and is going to a foster-to-adopt home. We'll give his foster family a few weeks to assess his fit before we consider other adopters.   BEED ESTIMATE: Bernise Mountain Dog/Retriever Mix - Golden Mountain Dog GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 89 bs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~3 years old COAT TYPE:  Medium wavy coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: UTD on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION: Columbia, SC   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. November 22, 2025, 8:52 pm

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:   Nadia  (NAD1025ALAFD)Estimated Breed:   Bernese Mountain DogApproximate Age:   5 yearsApproximate Weight:   85 lbsCurrently Living at:   FosterAdoption Fee:   $500DOG'S DESCRIPTION:    Meet Nadia — Your New Fluffy Best Friend!      If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a great big heart, say hello to Nadia. This gorgeous girl is the very definition of sweet, quiet, and gentle—with just enough goofiness to make you smile every single day.     Nadia came to us a bit timid, but she’s blossoming beautifully in her foster home. Each morning she greets the day—and her people—with happy tail wags and soft nuzzles to your hand or side (especially if you come bearing treats!). She’s incredibly responsive to her name, understands “no,” and is working on “sit.” With her love of treats and desire to please, training with Nadia will be a joy.     Despite her size, she is wonderfully well-mannered. Nadia doesn’t counter surf, steal snacks, jump on furniture, or bowl people over with enthusiasm. Instead, she prefers the simple things—quiet companionship, time outdoors, and being close to her people. Nadia is also polite and calm with the other dog in her foster home and walks nicely on leash. At the dog park, she’s a dream. Even when other dogs get barky or energetic, Nadia simply stays composed or gently moves away—no drama, no tension, just pure Bernese serenity. Kids are instantly drawn to her fluffy “teddy bear” look, and she greets their attention with softness and patience.     She’s still figuring out crates (she’ll resist going in, but settles quickly once she’s there) and may need time to feel safe in a new environment. A fenced yard or access to a nearby dog park would make her very happy—especially since car rides aren’t her favorite thing quite yet. Her foster mom describes her as an easy, loving, and beautifully gentle dog who would thrive in almost any family, including those with younger children. Nadia simply wants a calm, kind home where she can finally exhale and be loved the way she deserves.     If you’re ready to welcome a quiet companion with a tender heart, goofy charm, and endless sweetness, Nadia is ready to meet you. Apply today and come let this big, soft, gentle girl nuzzle her way into your life—and your heart. Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
The Easy-Going Senior SoulMEET COOPER!   Life hasn’t always been kind to Cooper, but you’d never know it by the way he looks at you—with soft, trusting eyes full of gratitude. This gentle and beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog mix, approximately 6–7 years old, has endured neglect and hardship, yet he radiates warmth and kindness. Cooper’s journey to a better life began when he was rescued by Tara’s House from an outdoor kennel just prior to Christmas 2024 where he had spent nearly all of his life.   Cooper is a gentle soul who is just happy to be with you. He gets along beautifully with everyone and everything; dogs, cats, critters, and older kids who have been taught to respect dogs. All he asks for is a cozy spot to rest his head, a gentle hand to reassure him, and the time to slowly ease into an active routine. However, if you have the time for a bum scratch…he will happily accept! Completely housebroken, this boy is a gem who also puts himself to bed at night in his crate. He will greet you in the morning with the cutest happy tippy-tap dance and a wagging tail.   He is a calm, sweet-natured old soul who would make an easy transition into a home with a fenced-in yard (and a home with carpet or carpet runners would be especially appreciated by him, as he finds hard floors a little scary!)   Cooper is proof that resilience and love can transform a life. He is waiting to meet you with open paws and an open heart. Could you be the one to complete his journey? If you’re looking for an easy-going, loyal and loving companion, Cooper is waiting to meet you!   Cooper’s adoption donation fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.October 23, 2025, 2:12 pm
