Mission is to find forever homes for Bernese Mountain Dogs that are without homes in the Ohio area
Mission: To take in purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs that are in shelters, or whose owners no longer want or cannot maintain them, or that have become lost and abandoned, and to place them in permanent pet homes in order to help provide a safe harbor for Bernese Mountain Dogs that might otherwise be destroyed or abandoned.
We have placed dogs in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. The club actively searches for dogs in our region of responsibility that includes the states of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana. If you do not live in one of these five states, you may still fill out a rescue application but the likelihood of receiving a dog is extremely remote. Instead, you should contact a club closer to you. See the list of other BMD clubs.
We are an all volunteer, non profit organization that is dedicated to re-homing Labradors, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Elkhounds, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Saint Bernards, Irish Wolfhounds and Deer Hounds. Saving one dog might not change the world. But, surely for that one dog the world will change forever. We look forward to helping you change one dog’s life.
