Some of the Bernese who have been helped by Bernese Welfare .....

                                                                                                 

►  Buddy was born with a half-length tail, very weak hindquarters and was much smaller than his littermates so was given to a family with small children.  Buddy quickly became unresponsive and difficult to control, dominating the children and asserting himself by aggression.  When he came into the care of Welfare aged 5 months he was extremely cock-sure of himself for one so young and willing to square-up to and take on any dog and any person!  He was neutered and with training became a much more sensible citizen who appreciated human company

 

 

 ◄  Bertie was another young dog who just became too large and boisterous for his owners to cope with.  Bertie found a new, enjoyable and useful purpose in life when rehomed  by Bernese Welfare to draft enthusiasts!    A veteran of many carting displays and processions, Bertie enjoys the attention he gets from carting spectators, gets on well with all other dogs (as you can see!) and helps raise funds for various charities and is clearly a happy dog, lapping up all the attention he receives.     

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                               

►  Pudsey,  a male puppy who just couldn't control his enthusiasm for greeting his owners when they appeared downstairs in the mornings.  His jumping up at them and grabbing at their clothes was not appreciated (nor curtailed!) and so, aged 6 months, he was handed into Bernese Welfare.  Rehomed with more experienced owners who had more time and dog training knowledge and skills, Pudsey quickly learned the error of his ways and his new 'Mum' clearly adores him.

 

 

 

 

 

◄  Spike had been purchased by a family with several small children plus another young dog of a smaller and very active breed.  Spike's 'crimes' included chasing the geese on the pond and repeatedly going upstairs to chew on clothes and toys (or anything he could find) and using the upstairs rooms as his lavatory.  When his owners were asked why they ALLOWED him upstairs, they answered they didn't "allow him - he just goes up of his own accord!"  Happily rehomed into a loving and caring family with a spayed female Bernese for company he is a reformed character.

 

                                                                                                             

►  Kira, came into care when her owner changed partners and Kira didn't get on with the new partner's dog!  Previously used to living in the house with the family, Kira was unhappy to find herself housed in outside accommodation and so was handed into Bernese Welfare.  Rehomed into the midst of a loving family, she is once again a happy girl.

                                                           

 

 

                                                                                                                 

 

 ◄  Anna, another pup purchased by very busy owners who had several young children.  Anna became increasingly boisterous so was moved out to live in a kennel in the garden which she hated.  Desperate to be back inside playing with the children - Anna voiced her protests loudly!  Diagnosed with epilepsy, Anna was handed into the care of Bernese Welfare but investigation proved she had grown out of having seizures. Successfully rehomed to a family where she once more resides inside the house and has constant company, Anna blossomed into a lovely, playful, character-full companion.

                

                                      

                                                                                       

► Caley had been purchased whilst her owner had been living at home with parents.   A new partner, a new job and a change of address resulted in Caley being left behind with the 'parents' who could not cope with the responsibility of caring for such a large, active dog.  18 months old when handed into Bernese Welfare, Caley was rehomed with owners who had previously adopted a male from Bernese Welfare, so Caley is once again in a stable home with lots of company.
