About Bert

Meet Bert. This 4-year-old Bichon mix weighs in at a lightweight 7 pounds. True to his breed, he’s a gentle and laid-back buddy who thrives on human companionship, making him the quintessential lap dog. Bert is currently in a foster home with teenagers that he adores. He is both house trained and crate trained, which means he's learned how to behave well indoors. While he's comfortable around other dogs, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home, focusing all his love and attention on his people. If you're searching for a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Bert is a perfect fit. He will need regular grooming to maintain his fluffy white and cream coat. Although he’s not interested in being a playmate for other dogs, he is great with children. Bert is set to attend our Adopt Joy event at Laurel PetSmart.
