About Bert

Bert's beginnings were rough, born into a chaotic environment where he often felt neglected and unsafe. He spent too much time confined in a crate, but luck was on his side when he was rescued before falling victim to parvovirus. Now, Bert is thriving in a loving foster home where he’s formed a strong bond with his sibling. He’s a spirited little guy who’s both observant and intelligent, eager to explore the world around him. Bert enjoys playing with his foster siblings but is equally content doing his own thing. He'd thrive even more with another friendly dog by his side. This young boy is ready to embark on his journey to find a forever family that will provide him the love and safety he’s always longed for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
