Story
Meet Bernie!
If you've been searching for a cheerful little sidekick who's always ready for life's next adventure, Bernie may just be your perfect match!
This handsome 2-year-old Bichon Frise and Miniature Poodle mix (our best guess) weighs in at a petite 11 pounds, making him the perfect size for everything from neighborhood strolls to cozy movie nights on the couch. Bernie entered our care as a stray with a microchip that unfortunately was never registered, and despite every effort to locate his family, no one ever came looking for him. Now he's ready to leave his past behind and find the forever home he has always deserved.
Bernie is the kind of dog who seems to make friends wherever he goes. He has a sweet, happy-go-lucky personality and genuinely enjoys meeting new people. Whether you're introducing him to friends, taking him on an outing, or simply spending time together at home, Bernie is happiest when he's with his people. He also rides wonderfully in the car, making him an excellent companion for road trips, pup cups, or tagging along on your daily errands.
In his foster home, Bernie has done well with other dogs and hasn't shown any concern around cats. He would likely do well with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respectfully interact with a small dog.
This fluffy little gentleman has also proven himself to be quite the well-mannered houseguest. He is crate trained, has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners, and enjoys getting out for walks where he can explore the neighborhood one sniff at a time.
Like many Bichon Frise and Poodle mixes, Bernie will require regular professional grooming and routine coat maintenance at home. When he arrived, his coat had become quite overgrown and matted, so his future family should be prepared to keep up with regular brushing and grooming appointments to ensure he stays comfortable, healthy, and looking his very best.
Bernie has left his stray days behind and is ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a family who will cherish him, spoil him just a little (okay... maybe a lot), and love him unconditionally. In return, he'll reward you with endless companionship, a happy little tail wag, and enough love to brighten even the toughest days.
If you're ready to welcome this fluffy little gentleman into your heart and home, Bernie is ready to love you furever.:

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM.

Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
