Bernie Old English Sheepdog Oakland, NJ

Bernie is a purebred 1-2 year old Old English Sheep Dog that was recently rescued from a life as a breeder dog in a puppy mill. He is a bit undersocialized and would do well in a patient home willing to work with him on basic obedience and training. He gets along well with female dogs and would do well in a home with a friendly female dog to help him feel more comfortable.
