About Bort

Bort is a sweet, affectionate boy who truly thrives on human companionship. Initially, he can be a bit shy in new settings, but once he finds his footing, his gentle and loving nature shines through. He adores attention and cuddles, making him a perfect snuggle buddy. He'd do best in a calm home with adults or patient older teens ready to give him the time he needs to adjust. Bort enjoys rough play with other dogs, so a sturdy, active playmate would suit him well. He has a keen interest in deer and rabbits and can easily jump a 4-foot barrier when excited, so he’ll need either a 6-foot fenced yard or a secure leash outdoors. Bort does well on a leash, although he might pull when he spots small animals. He knows commands like "sit" and "wait," especially when food is involved. While he is mostly house-trained with only occasional accidents, he has impeccable house manners and doesn't chew on things. Neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative, Bort is ready for a forever home. If you’re looking for a lovable companion, Bort would love to meet you!
