Bernese Mountain Dog Dogs For Adoption in Raleigh, NC, USA

Dog Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog. Meet Merritt! Merritt may have been born without the full use of her back legs, but don’t tell her she’s any different—this brave littl

e Bernese is busy writing her own rulebook. At just 29 pounds at five months, she won’t grow to full Bernese size; instead, she’ll likely top out around 60–70 pounds, making her a wonderfully manageable medium-to-large pup. She’s already mastered her own way of getting around. Sometimes she hops, sometimes she scoots, and sometimes she rolls proudly in her wheelchair. Her latest favorite move in her chair? Spinning backwards in joyful little circles. Of course, if you happen to have a cheesestick, she’ll happily show off some forward steps too. Because of her disability, Merit doesn’t always have full control of her bathroom habits. At home she does well with pee pads, and when she’s out and about she wears a diaper like a champ. Her future family should be prepared for a bit of extra care, along with some lifting as she grows, but in return they’ll gain a dog with one of the biggest hearts you’ll ever meet. Merit is happiest when she’s snuggled in close, melting into your lap as though she was made for it. She loves other dogs, thrives on affection, and has a way of turning even her quirks into pure joy. What she’s looking for isn’t complicated: a home that will embrace her differences, celebrate her determination, and love her for the sweet, resilient pup she is. With Merritt, you don’t just get a dog—you get a daily reminder that courage and love come in all shapes and sizes. pipsrescue/adopt

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
