Meet Bernie

Hi! Please meet Bernie, who is a 98 lb. Anatolian Shepherd livestock guardian dog who will be a year old on February 28th!  Bernie is fully up to date on vaccines, dewormed, tested negative for heartworms, and current on flea and tick prevention. He is also scheduled for neutering on January 10. Large dogs are neutered later than normal.  Bernie knows basic commands, is incredibly cuddly, and would love to sit on your lap or climb on the couch if you let him! He is a very, very affectionate and loving dog. To top it off, he is extremely gentle when taking treats from your hand too! Bernie has done a fantastic job protecting our property, watching over our chickens, and alerting us when someone is around. However, he hasn’t been getting along with our male senior dog. He gets along great with our female lab and the neighbor’s 50 lb. shepherd mix. For everyone’s safety, we’ve made the difficult decision to find him a new home due to our older male dog. He does great around the toddler.  He is good on a leash, loves to ride in the car, and was very well behaved at the vet.  Bernie will thrive as a livestock guardian on a large property to patrol. If you or someone you know can give him the home he deserves, please reach out. The above was written by Bernie’s current owner.  Almost Home Animal Rescue is working with them to find him the perfect forever home.  Please contact Judy at [email protected] or 865-300-8146 for more information or to request an application.  Adoption fee is $250.
