BFF Dixie LOVES a good bully stick!! We love taking care of her when her family goes out of town. 🥰

One would think a guy with a sweet face like me would have people clamoring to adopt me.

My name is Bernie and I am a 12 year old Yorkie who weigh 7 lbs. I am fostered by Senior Hearts Rescue & Renewal in Bradfordwoods PA.

I’m a happy guy who is friendly with anyone I’ve met. I enjoy several walks a day, playing with toys, hanging with my fur siblings, cuddling with my human, and naps.

I don’t hear as great as I used to. But it doesn’t stop me from enjoying my life.

I like other dogs as long as they aren’t big or hyper.

I will need a small dog fur sibling in my furever home. Life is always better with a friend.

I am house-trained but I do need those walks to be a good boy!

My favorite humans would be those that work from home or active retirees. We get to spend the day together and go on lots of walks.

I can be adopted into an adult-only home within a two-hour radius of Pittsburgh, PA.
