Story

Max is very gentle . He is a great dog, but our lives have changed so much since we purchased him 4 1/2 years ago. I am sad to say we don’t have time for him. He is good with kids as long as they are gentle and not mean. (obviously)….He has never bitten. He doesn’t require HEAVY exercise, but does love walks. Bernese mountain dogs shed , so make sure you don’t mind brushing him out and don’t mind dog hair.

While he enjoys getting the occasional case of the zoomies and racing around the yard, once he's burned off that burst of energy, he's more than happy to settle down by your side. 'Merica is also great at entertaining himself and enjoys lounging around with a favorite toy. With his perfect balance of playful and cuddly, he's ready to find a family that will give him plenty of love, snuggles, and a cozy spot to call his own.
