About this Dog
Bernice is quite possibly the happiest dog you will ever meet. She is a 60 lb Lab mix lady. She is happy to meet everyone – people and animals alike. She loves to play with you and with other dogs. She loves to play fetch and her favorite toy is a big rope toy to fetch and carry around and also to play tug with the other dogs. She has been good with the cats, however if another dog shows too much interest, she is quick to join to try to play with them. She is housetrained and a wonderful companion. While she is always ready to play outside, at 5 years old, she is also content just hanging out with you. Bernice is a tripod, and even though that does not slow her down in the least she does best on floors that have some traction. She also goes up and down stairs with ease. Since she loves to run and play, her ideal home would have a fenced yard. Bernice is an all around great girl that would make a great addition to any family size. Her favorite thing on this earth is going to be YOU. Bernice is currently undergoing her final treatment for heartworm. She will make a complete recovery and can finish out her treatment with her adoptive family (and the rescue pays for all of this If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Adopt Bernice and Receive Bernice's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bernice's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bernice's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bernice, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bernice's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bernice was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bernice’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bernice’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bernice’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
