Hi, I’m Orchid, a sweet and gentle Mini Bernedoodle. I’m an adult, weighing about 25 pounds, and I’m looking for a forever home where I can feel safe and loved. I’m a bit shy and anxious about new things, but I’ve come a long way since staying with my foster family. I love attention and will happily follow you around everywhere, always ready for some snuggles on the couch. Being your little shadow is kind of my thing!
I get along just fine with other dogs, but I don’t mind if they aren’t around—I’m more focused on being close to you. When you’re not home, I like to settle into a comfy spot and relax. I’m a very low-energy girl, and I don’t chew on things or make a mess. Loud noises and too much commotion can be a bit scary for me, but I’m working on gaining confidence day by day.
Some of my favorite treats are chicken breast and dried liver, but I haven’t really figured out toys just yet. I’m still learning about potty training, but my foster family says I’m doing great with keeping my pen clean, and I’m getting better on a schedule. I won’t ask to go outside yet, so you’ll need to keep an eye on me.
I’m also learning how to walk on a leash, but it’s going to take me some time, so I’ll need a fenced yard for now. I sometimes freeze when the leash is on because new things make me nervous. Patience will be key to helping me feel more secure.
I’m crate trained and do best when left in an x-pen, though I can handle a crate too. At night, I sleep peacefully in my crate next to my foster mom’s bed. I’ve met older kids and done just fine, but I think younger, rambunctious ones would be a little overwhelming for me—kids around 10 years old and up would be best.
One thing I’m really proud of? I do great during grooming! Even though I get a little scared, I stand still for baths, blow dries, haircuts, and nail trims like a champ. I even enjoy being brushed while we relax and watch TV.
If you have a patient heart and a cozy couch, I’d love to be your snuggle buddy as I continue learning how to be a confident and happy pup!
*Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal’s bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
