Labrador Retriever and Bernese Mountain Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Pretzels!
DOB: April 2024
Weight: 55lbs.
Disposition: Gentle, loving, easygoing
This sweet girl is gentle, loving, and easygoing, making her a joy to be around. She's friendly with other dogs, loves being around people, and absolutely adores kids. With her calm and affectionate personality, she settles in easily and enjoys both playtime and relaxing by your side.
History: Pretzel was rescued from Barstow Humane Society in April 2026 due to severe overcrowding. She and her puppies were at risk of euthanasia, and while someone offered to take the puppies, Pretzel was heartbreakingly going to be left behind. Thankfully, The Barking Lot stepped in and rescued the entire family--including dad, Pringles--giving them all a second chance at life, love, and finding their forever homes.
Best Home: She would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family and get plenty of love and attention. A home with children or other friendly dogs would be a great fit, as she enjoys companionship and connection. Whether it's playtime in the yard or cozy evenings inside, she'll be happiest in a home where she's included in everyday life.
Amazing Qualities: She's not only loving but also well-mannered--she already knows commands like sit and shake! As a devoted mama to her four puppies, she's shown how nurturing and patient she is. Her friendly, social personality makes her a wonderful companion for just about anyone.
