Hello there, my name's Bertha. I came to VOCAL upon some sad circumstances. I had just given birth to 13 babies, and the VOCAL team had planned on intaking me and my litter but a day before I was supposed to come in my babies were all given away by my owner. Despite that, VOCAL still wanted to help me and brought me in by myself. I'm a friendly girl but quite scared and unsure of the world. I'm working on my leash skills and improving every day. One thing that my friends here noticed about me is that I often move around slowly, like a manatee! But that's just because I'm pretty timid. Once I meet you though, I am very sweet and affectionate. I like to be as close to you as I can be for comfort and snuggles. I just need someone who can give me patience and love.
