Bernie is a 9-year-old spaniel mix with a smart mind, loyal heart, and a love for the outdoors. Don’t let his age fool you — this boy still enjoys his walks, hikes, and car rides and is always ready for an adventure with his favorite person.
Bernie loves to please and learns quickly. He knows his basic commands and is very food motivated, which makes continued training both fun and rewarding. He thrives when he has structure and clear expectations — routine is his comfort zone.
After a good walk or some outdoor time, Bernie is happy to relax and unwind. He enjoys snuggling in with his people but also appreciates having his own space when it’s time to sleep. He’s independent in that way — affectionate, but not clingy.
One of his most endearing quirks? His beloved toy donuts. He proudly carries them around the house and entertains himself tossing them in the air. It’s pretty adorable.
Bernie would do best in a calm, adult-only home where life is predictable and peaceful. He bonds deeply with his people and will be a devoted companion to someone who values routine, consistency, and a loyal best friend by their side.
If you’re looking for a smart, steady, outdoors-loving companion who also respects personal space, Bernie may be your perfect match.
Bernie is located and is available for adoption in Texas. He is also available for adoption to approved adopters in CT, VT, NH, NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA, OH, and TN via a trusted transport partner.
