Bert

About This Dog for Adoption

Bert's ideal home

Bert is a gentle 5-year-old boy who is currently finding kennel life overwhelming and can feel worried when meeting new people. He needs patient, understanding adopters who will give him the time and space to feel safe and settled. Bert can be conflicted around other dogs and prefers dogs his own size; while he may manage calm walking buddies, he truly doesn’t enjoy the company of other dogs and is happiest simply being alongside his best friend, Ernie. They share a close bond and are looking for a home together. Bert would suit a calm household with children aged 14+ who can respect his space when he needs time to reset. A secure garden is essential to provide him with a safe place to relax and explore.

Could you be Bert's perfect match?

Bert has a medium energy level and is cautious in new environments, often sticking close to Ernie and looking to his humans for reassurance. He doesn’t like being left and will need someone at home most of the time while he adjusts to his new surroundings. Once he feels secure, Bert is a loving companion who will happily curl up for cuddles on a comfy lap and enjoy gentle walks at a relaxed pace. He will thrive in a peaceful home that offers consistency, companionship, and plenty of affection. If you have a quiet home, time to dedicate, and space in your heart and home for two devoted best friends, Bert and Ernie could be the perfect pair for you.
