BERNARD

My story

Meet Bernard – The Adorable Jack Tzu with a Heart Full of Hope   Little Bernard has had a bumpy start in life, but you’d never know it from the joy in his eyes and the spring in his step. This 1-year-old Jack Tzu (a perfect blend of Shih Tzu and Jack Russell) is ready to trade in the uncertainty of his past for the stability and love of a forever home.   Weighing in at just 11 pounds, Bernard is the perfect pocket-sized companion. He’s happy, energetic, and full of personality — he’ll even chase his own tail just to make you laugh. But don’t let his playful side fool you — this little guy has wonderful house manners, settles calmly in his crate, and walks beautifully on a leash. His soft white wiry coat is accented with camel-colored spots that match his custom harness — he’s as fashionable as he is lovable!   Bernard is:   Good with other dogs Friendly with people (he just needs a moment to warm up in new places) Great with children 8 and up Nearly potty trained and learning fast Knows commands like sit, stay, shake, and lie down     He’s not much of a fetcher, but he makes up for it in charm, cuddles, and curiosity. Bernard adores running in a fenced yard, and we’re looking for a home where he’ll have access to one — either a private yard or frequent dog park visits.   After being passed from home to home through no fault of his own, Bernard is looking for one thing: consistency and love. He deserves someone who won’t give up on him — a person, couple, or family who sees him for the loyal, joyful, loving companion he truly is.   Can you be the one to give Bernard the forever he’s been waiting for?   To adopt Bernard, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Include your city and state when reaching out. We can’t wait to help you meet this irresistible boy.   Bernard’s been passed around long enough — now it’s time for him to come home.
