Havanese and Schnoodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Inglewood, California

Bernie is the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the loudest in the room to be noticed—he’s got a quiet charm that just pulls you in. At 2 years old, this Havanese and Schnoodle Mix carries himself with an easygoing confidence and a soft, thoughtful sweetness.

Found in Highland on Easter with Bessie and Birdie, Bernie seems to have taken it all in stride. He’s observant, gentle, and the type who bonds deeply—once you’re his person, you’re his person.

He enjoys the simple things: a calm walk, a cozy spot beside you, a little affection that turns into a lot. No fuss, no drama—just a genuinely good dog ready for a steady, loving home.

Bernie isn’t trying to steal the spotlight… but somehow, he does.
