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

►  When his owner's employment pattern changed from part-time work to full-time rotating shifts,  Eddie was left home-alone for extensive and regular periods.  Eddie was so frustrated and desperate for company that when his owner WAS home he was demanding attention all the time in whatever way he could get it and so his owner handed him in to Bernese Welfare. A friendly and affectionate dog, he was successfully rehomed to an experienced owner who was home all day and Eddie also has a canine companion.

◄  Barney, too large and strong for busy owners to care for or train properly so he was handed into Bernese Welfare.  A good natured boy, with remedial training he was rehomed successfully.    

►  Puppy Bentley thought that he was allowed to join in and dominate all the games with the four children he lived with.  Unfortunately, he quickly grew to be bigger and stronger than all of the children and so often knocked them down.   Handed into Bernese Welfare aged 6 months he was placed in a calmer home with no young children and has grown into a sober citizen!                                                                                  

▲  Due to a change in personal circumstances, the owner of newly-purchased Leonberger Rosy, a retired ex-breeding bitch and Bernese Bertie contacted Bernese Welfare to ask for help in rehoming the dogs.  Bertie has a slack tongue which hangs out of his mouth but caused no problems.  Luckily both dogs were adopted by a Bernese owner and now Rosy and Bertie enjoy pulling carts at displays.

▲  Hannah was already middle aged and had changed homes previously when her owner decided to part with her and handed her in to Bernese Welfare.  Sociable and  tolerant, she was rehomed to a family who had experience of Bernese and other animals.   Hannah seems to have a calming influence and be setting a good example to her puppy friend.

◄  Zeus was purchased as a puppy by a couple who had previously owned a much smaller and more stoic, elderly dog.  As each month passed they had less control of this boisterous and strong boy, and he realised that by brute force he could usually get his own way. Handed in to Bernese Welfare, he received remedial training and was rehomed to experienced owners who soon directed his energy into positive behaviour.  Zeus' favourite pastime is to travel in the car at every opportunity and of course he prefers the front seat!
