Norma Nine

Bernese Mountain Dog

5 years, Female, Large

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals’ lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. 

Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.

NAME: Norma Nine

BREED: Bernese Mountain Dog

DOB: Apr 1, 2021 (5 years 5 months)

GENDER: Female

HOME RECOMMENDATION: Norma Nine is a sweet dog who would do best in a home where someone is around often and can give her plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. A home with a large, securely fenced yard would be ideal, giving her plenty of space to run, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. She is looking for a family who will make her part of her everyday life and shower her with the attention and affection she loves!

PERSONALITY: Norma Nine is a sweet and loving pup who enjoys spending time with people and gets along wonderfully with both kids and other dogs. She has a gentle, affectionate personality and absolutely loves getting belly rubs! Norma Nine would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a friendly and loving companion.

KIDS: Yes

DOGS: Yes

CATS: Yes

TRAINING: Norma Nine is doing well with her potty training and consistently goes potty outside. She is also making great progress with leash training and is gaining confidence with the help of her foster siblings. With continued practice, patience, and positive reinforcement, she will continue to build her confidence and become an even more confident little walker!

WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Some large-scale breeding programs occasionally have dogs and puppies they are unable to place due to medical needs, birth defects, appearance differences, or simply because there is not enough demand. WISE partners with groups working to help provide these dogs with a second chance rather than an uncertain future. We are committed to rescuing and caring for dogs of all kinds — healthy, medically fragile, senior, or those with special needs — and giving them the love, safety, and opportunity they deserve.
