Rescue & Rehome Assistance
CVBMDC rescue/re-home is limited to those dogs that are representative of the breed and clearly appear to be purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs. The primary objective of the rescue, re-home program is to provide a loving home and good living conditions for any Berner who is currently homeless, in a shelter, in an abusive situation, or for Bernese Mountain Dog owners who are no longer able to keep their dog due to changing life circumstances.
Rescue Committee
If you need help with rehoming your Berner or know of a Berner in need of rescue in the Southeast, please email Michelle Maendler at [email protected]
Adopting a Rescue or Rehome
Please heed the invaluable advice that all breeds do not fit all lifestyles. Responsible pet ownership requires an honest and factual assessment of whether a specific breed is right for you. Not all breeds fit all lifestyles. If you have never owned a Berner, please visit www.bmdca.org and view their BMD Info Series to learn more about the breed. There you will find information on the breed history, breed versatility, health, geriatric care, grooming, and rescue.
