Bert is a joyful, two-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who radiates energy and warmth. He's picked up basic obedience skills through the SWATT program, but what he really needs is a home that clicks—one with the patience to bring out his best. Bert does best in a house with a spacious, fenced-in yard, where he can race, play, and enjoy life to the fullest. If you love goofy dogs, his playful personality (and his tongue-out photos) will win you over quickly. He comes neutered and fully vaccinated, making him ready to settle in as your loyal companion. Bert is house trained and enjoys the company of other dogs, so he’ll fit right into a household looking for an enthusiastic new buddy. If you’re in Metropolis, IL, and want a cheerful, active dog, Bert is waiting for someone who can match his drive and give him the open space he needs. Bert was born on June 21, making him a Cancer—a sun sign known for loyalty and affection. Give him a chance to brighten your days. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
