RE-HOMING ASSISTANCE
Here's Ruby one year after her successful surgery, living the good life we had all hoped for.
THANK YOU PVBMDC MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS
AND THANKS TO THE BARNES', RUBY'S NEW FAMILY
When we first met Ruby, she was a nine-months old and needed orthopedic surgery to correct a front-leg deformity caused by an auto accident when she was only three months old.

PVBMDC is committed to the welfare of Bernese
Mountain Dogs of which rescue is an important part. We educate and counsel
both those who wish to give up a dog and those who are seeking a rescue
dog. We can help put those seeking a rescue in touch with those who have a
BMD they want to re-home. We work with individuals and organizations such
as dog shelters which have purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs for adoption. We
DO NOT evaluate or foster any dogs, nor do we determine
the suitability of an individual dog for adoption. We DO NOT recommend any
specific dog to anyone. The responsibility of determining whether or not a
dog is suitable for adoption rests solely between the prospective new owner and
the current owner. We will not refer dogs that are known to us to be
aggressive toward humans. We encourage owners and/or adopters to neuter
intact dogs.
PVBMDC members may not take a dog into their home
for evaluation as a representative of the Club. If a Club member does
evaluate a dog, he/she understands that the responsibility and liability rests
with that member and not the Club.
If you would like to be on a waiting list for a Bernese that needs re-homing, please write Sharon Hasenauer at sharon@pvbmdc.org.
If you have made the difficult decision to give up a dog, we offer our support and counsel, but cannot foster or shelter your dog. We encourage you to contact the dog's breeder as most responsible breeders will want to help re-settle the dog if possible (check your sales contract as it may specify what is to happen if you give up your pet). Contact Sharon Hasenauer (sharon@pvbmdc.org) for assistance.
The Rescue Chairperson for the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of
America is Kathy Deyo, bmdrescue@clearwater.net
You can find other regional club rescue contacts on the BMD Club of America's website www.bmdca.org
Occasionally a Bernese mix is advertised by Animal Shelters or Humane Societies. Try doing a search at Petfinder.com
If you are looking for an older
dog, not necessarily a rescue, try contacting Bernese breeders. (Go to the
Puppy Info page to get a list of breeders.) Occasionally they may have an
older dog that they are releasing from their breeding program. These dogs
are typically not free, however.
