Our goal is to promote public awareness of the high numbers of homeless Saint Bernard's in the United Sates, and what exceptional companions they make. Saint Bernard's are often called gentle giants. They are a unique and special breed, affectionate, loyal, sensitive, and protective. They come from all over the country and from various situations, shelters, animal control and owner turn-ins. Adults can weigh from 100 to 200 pounds.
Females are usually smaller.
Information About Rescue Purebred rescue organizations do their utmost to make the best match for both the dog and the adopting family. They carefully screen prospective homes and sometimes make follow-up inquiries and visits. Rescuers know first hand about the breeds strength and weaknesses, health issues and temperaments. These dog fanciers are adept at analyzing, rehabilitating and placing dogs. If you are interested in owning a purebred dog, you may consider giving a rescue dog a second chance for a safe and loving home.
