Description
Dog Breed: Saint Bernard (long coat). *Bunnie is a 2 year-old St. Bernard who weighed 118.10lbs on intake! 03/01/26 Bunnie was brought to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about her history. But while she's been at the shelter Bunnie has been a bubbly and fun personality! She likes going on walks, and fun playful interactions with people! She has been put on a novel protein diet as her ears were irritated on intake. Often this is due to an allergic response from food! So it will be important for her new family to monitor her ears and food habits moving forward. While we don't know her history with other animals, Bunnie has done well! Making slow, safe, and controlled introductions are important. If you are not familiar with St Bernards we encourage you to research the breed prior to adopting. If you are interested in meeting Bunnie please give the shelter a call!

Overview:
The Saint Bernard is an iconic, gentle giant originating from the Swiss Alps, where they were famously bred by monks at the Great St. Bernard Hospice for rescue missions. Physically, they are magnificent dogs, known for their substantial size, powerful build, and a distinctive broad head often featuring a wrinkled brow and soulful eyes. Their thick coat, which can be smooth or rough, is typically a striking combination of white with patches of red, mahogany, or brindle. Temperamentally, Saint Bernards are renowned for their calm, patient, and affectionate nature, making them excellent companions and remarkably tolerant with children, earning them the nickname "nanny dog." However, due to their immense size, they are generally not well-suited for apartment living, thriving best in homes with a spacious yard and owners committed to their exercise needs. Prospective owners should also be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and regular veterinary care for these beloved giants.
