Bernice is a female red tick coon hound, she is about 5-6 years old. She was dumped at animal control when her family no longer had a use for her, or out grew her. She was loyal to her family for those 5-6 years, and loved them. They were all shes ever known. Then one day they put her in the car, and drove her to Animal Control, where dogs who are brought in by their owners are the first to be euthanized. Owner surrenders are only given 24 hours to find a rescue or an adopter to save them before their 24 hours is up. Bernice, was saved by Paws Rescue League Inc, placed in a TN foster home while she was vetted, and where she could settle in, and recover from the heartbreak of losing her family. Bernice has now been in foster care for over a month, and is ready to make her way north to find a loving furever home. You will not find a more calm, sweet, easy going, good natured, cuddly, loves everyone dog, than Bernice! She checks all of these boxes. She has the sweetest temperatment of any dog. She is still playful when around other dogs, calm gentle, and friendly around children and people. She does not jump on people, knows some basic commands, and is just overall the sweetest girl you will ever meet! She does suffer from Glaucoma in one eye, her right eye. She is mostly blind in that eye, but you would never know she doesnt have full vision. Her glaucoma is not painful, and at the moment there isnt anything that needs to be done for her eye. Sadly, people dont see her AMAZINGLY sweet, calm, mellow temperament, because they wont look past her eye. Bernice has a lot of love to give, and a lot of snuggles ( she could very well be a service dog for emotional support, shes that well behaved, easy and loving). Anyone who spends 5 minutes with her will be in love. Even with her temperament, when shes with dogs, she lights up and enjoys their company, plays very well with them, and takes ques from other dogs. She walks well on leash, crate trained (though she rather be in your bed). Bernice is currently available and would love to have a family of her own who will love her.
