Bernese come into Rescue for many reasons but always through no fault of their own, our club’s Rescue and Rehoming branch helps to re-home and help Bernese in need. People willing to take a Bernese in need into their lives or foster one needing a temporary helping hand are always welcome to get in touch. Maybe you could assist us assessing dogs or homes in your area or maybe you can help with funding. Find out more and how you can help.
