Meet Bernstein! He is a sweet boy (named Santi by his foster dad). He is a very affectionate pup who loves to cuddle. His foster family says he is so much fun and has a huge personality! His favorite thing in the world is playing catch with a tennis ball.

Santi walks well on the leash, unless he sees another dog which may get him a little excited, but he's working on it! He's always highly interested in other dogs and has thrived when living with them after he is introduced and adjusts to them. He's getting along extremely well with the two dogs in his foster home.

He is a nicely house-trained boy who will calmly sit next to you and put his paw on you to tell you he needs to go outside.

He has made progress in learning how to contain his excitement when playing. He can just get a little overwhelmed with happiness! He has loved to run with a foster mom on jogs outside, so he would love to find a home where he can get some consistent exercise!

Santi will love a home with people and other doggies who are there almost all the time since he is not happy when left home alone. He would make a great companion for a special person. Could it be you? Meet him and find out!
Come meet your new best friend
