Some more dogs helped by Bernese Welfare .....

◄  Ruby.  This Bernese crossbreed and her littermates were born to a purebred Bernese bitch.  All were, eventually, rehomed by Bernese Welfare.

►  Georgia  had lived for 3 years in a second story apartment - her only access to the outside was to be taken in the lift down to ground level and be walked on a lead on a small grass amenity area outside the building for a few minutes.   Georgia liked to jump up at any unwary passer-by and bark into their face.   Once handed into Bernese Welfare, remedial training cured her bad habits and Georgia, complete with new-found good manners, was rehomed.                                                                      

◄  Bonnie had already had two different owners before being handed into the care of Bernese Welfare.  Bonnie came with a reputation for being boisterous, strong and unresponsive, and she had a history of intermittent lameness of unknown cause.  After some successful remedial training and veterinary investigation followed by appropriate medication, Bonnie was successfully rehomed.

►  Tess and Little Tommy.  Handed into Bernese Welfare, both of these two undernourished, scrawny 9 week old littermates were found to have a hepatic shunt (a defect of the liver and digestion process) and Tommy also had a serious heart murmur.   Tess showed improvement over time and responded to treatment but the prognosis for Little Tommy was bleak.  It was decided to let Tommy enjoy whatever time he had left, and he had a carefree and happy few months of puppyhood spent playing with his little (although bigger than him!) sister.  Sadly, Tommy's health suddenly deteriorated and this brave, happy little puppy died peacefully at a little over 5 months old.  Tess remained small with a few health issues but with a carefully controlled diet and light medication she lives a happy and content life.

◄  When her owner could not cope nor properly care for Bunty plus another small breed bitch living in a first-floor apartment, Bernese Welfare was asked to help.   Rehomed to a family who already had another resident Bernese, Bunty now lives a happy life especially enjoying the great outdoors!
