Paisley

Bernese Mountain Dog

4 years, Female, Large

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Meet Paisley!

4 year old female, fully vetted.

She needs/is good with:

PRIVACY FENCED YARD ✔️

DOGS ✔️

CATS ✔️

QUIET HOME ✔️

LOVE AND PATIENCE ✔️

Paisley is your stereotypical Berner - sweet and gentle, and won't hesitate to paw for attention if she decides you're ignoring her too much.  

She absolutely requires a privacy fence, as she has climbed a regular fence. She is a flight risk, this is a must.

She loves to have her family close by, and wants to be right next to you for whatever you're doing.

If she can't, she gets a bit anxious, but is quick to adjust and take a nap. :)

Paisley loves laying on the couch, and hanging out outside.

She is cautious of men, but can eventually warm up.

Paisley is a very quiet girl who almost never barks, and is great with dogs and cats. 

She's still easily startled, and isn't a fan of quick movements or loud noises. This will likely improve a bit with time. 

Loves treats including cheese but will hesitate to eat from your hands, but when she does she is very gentle.

 She will need a loving and patient family while she continues to decompress and open up. Part of her feeling comfortable during this process is having a quiet/safe spot she can go to in the house when she's uncomfortable - a dog bed in a quiet corner or even a walk-in closet. She also prefers to have space to eat. Another dog in the home would help hugely with this decompression process.

Overall she's a very sweet girl who just needs time to feel comfortable and learn to love and be loved.
