Bernie (AG26-189) - Miniature Poodle and Bichon Frise Dog for Adoption in Peyton, Colorado

Meet Bernie!

Bernie is a fun-loving, 3-month-old Miniature Poodle/Bichon Frise mix weighing 4 pounds. This sweet puppy is curious about the world and eager to learn, making every day a new adventure!

Bernie is looking for a family that is ready for the commitment of raising a puppy. He will thrive with consistent training, plenty of exercise, and lots of positive reinforcement as he grows into a well-mannered adult. Continued socialization with people, other dogs, and new experiences will be essential to help him build confidence and develop into a happy, well-rounded companion.

Bernie has not yet been tested with other dogs at the shelter because he is healing from surgery. A dog-to-dog introduction is being considered, and we plan to test him once he has fully healed and is no longer under restriction.

If you're ready to invest the time, patience, and love that a growing puppy needs, Bernie is ready to become your newest adventure buddy and lifelong best friend.

A required in-person meet and greet at our shelter is part of the adoption process to help ensure a good fit for Bernie and his potential adopters.
