Meet Bernie, an adult Akita/Frenchie mix with a spirit as vibrant as his brindle coat. His curiosity knows no bounds; every new smell or sound is a thrilling mystery waiting to be solved.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Taylor is a sweet, resilient young lady with a heart as big as her puppy eyes. This beautiful female pup has already shown incredible strength early in life-after recovering from an injury, she's back on her paws and ready to find a loving forever home. Her recovery journey has helped shape her into a thoughtful, affectionate dog who truly enjoys her people. Taylor loves human companionship and thrives on connection. She's eager to learn, enjoys playtime, and is happiest when she knows she's part of the family. She's the kind of pup who will follow you from room to room, settle in for cuddles, and greet you like you're the best part of her day-because you are.On leash, Taylor can experience some frustration when she sees other dogs. This looks like excitement mixed with uncertainty, and it's something she's actively working on. With consistent training, positive reinforcement, and calm handling, Taylor continues to make progress. She would do best with an adopter who understands leash skills and is willing to continue building her confidence, or who can work with a trainer to help her succeed. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's overcome challenges and is ready to blossom in the right home, Taylor could be your perfect match.
