About Bert

Bert is a big, energetic pup pulled with his brother from a Utah shelter, possibly with Anatolian Shepherd mixed in. He plays hard all day and does best when he has other dogs and kids around as playmates. If Bert and his brother aren’t adopted together, he’ll need another dog in the home for company and fun. He’s still learning the ropes of house training and getting used to sleeping through the night. Right now, Bert has only had his first set of shots, so he’ll need two more rounds to be fully protected. He’s currently being fostered in Utah and looking for an active, lively family where he’ll have plenty of friends and activities. Click apply to start the adoption process.
