Rescue
Occasionally we find a Berner that truly needs to be rescued or one that is in need of a new, special home due to a change in the domestic situation. Please contact our Rescue Committee for further information if you are interested in providing a rescue home.
We are so thankful to our Rescuers for the loving homes they provide. To show them appreciation, we give one complimentary year of membership to our club, the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Watchung, as a thank you!

Below are some of our Berners who have been placed in terrific rescue homes already:
Myka - With a smile on my face I come to share this great news. Myka is a 6 yr old Berner girl who has seen nothing but a small pen on a breeding farm. She has produced many litters of “doodles” and due to age was “retired”. She arrived at Angela's home scared, worried and feeling abandoned. Angela helped her gain courage through her first 10 days and at that time we felt she was ready to make one more transition to a loving home in VA. Myka is an amazing Berner who has the will and desire to now become a beloved family pet. We are celebrating and wish Myka happy days and express our “thank you” to Robin Rosbolt and her family for opening their heart to this special girl!
Beretta - There is nothing we love more than a happily everafter:) The following are some notes from Beretta's new family, along with before and after photos from the shelter we rescued him from to his loving new family:) "Beretta is sweet and perfect in every way possible. He is a gentle giant and shows he has so much love to give. He is adjusting well so far with being in his new home." ..."we are thankful to have this opportunity to show him unconditional love. He did awesome last night, and we even caught him and Mya cuddling!"
Molly - Happily ensconced in her new home enjoying walks with her brother Macca in the neighborhood, Ocean City, NJ and Peddlers Village!!
Ellie is very polite - She sent us this sweet thank you card from her puppy shower. She is enjoying the new toys and treats welcoming her to her new home.
Prince - We received a very nice note from our most recent boys new owner, Joyce, letting us know how beautifully he is filling out and how he is adored by everyone:)
Update:
We will keep in touch as we love you for getting us together.
Hugs and love,
JOYCE AND PRINCE
OTIS, now renamed Scooby-Do, has adjusted nicely and from the pictures you can see that ‘life is good’!
This is the happy feedback from another of our recent placements. “Gully” absolutely adores his new family and the Gabriele’s cannot imagine life without their new companion. Does the picture tell the story?
Reeses - a grand old gentleman, 8 1/2 years.
Danny - 1 1/2 year old boy.
Everest - 6 yr old boy.
Gracie - Has found her forever loving home, thank you for your interest.
Harley - Was happily rehomed too.
Guinness who will be 9 in April and now lives with one of Lilian's ‘puppies’ in MD and Dylan will be 10 in June. The two boys are getting along just fine and obviously feel very comfortable resting together.
