Bart

A gentle soul who was rescued from a life of misery, only to spend more than a year waiting for someone to choose him. Not all of that time has been with us, but every extra day in kennels is another day without a family to call his own. It's heartbreaking because there is nothing wrong with Bart. He simply needs someone who understands that trust takes time. Bart came into our care with his brother, Biff, who has recently been adopted and now it is Bart's turn. After being transferred from another rescue where they struggled to get noticed. The lack of interest knocked their confidence, but despite everything, Bart is trying so hard. Every day he gets a little braver. He's been enjoying solo walks with our team to help build his confidence, and we're so proud of how far he's come. Beneath the worried exterior is a truly lovely boy who just wants to feel safe and loved. 🏡 What Bart dreams of... ❤️ A patient, understanding owner who will let him settle at his own pace. 🐶 A friendly, confident resident dog to show him that the world isn't so scary. 🌳 A quiet rural or semi-rural home with a secure, good-sized garden where he can relax and explore safely. 🚫 No children. 🚫 No cats or small furries. We don't know if Bart has ever lived in a home before, so everything will be new to him. He won't be the dog who walks in and instantly knows the routine. But with time, kindness and love, we know he'll blossom into the most loyal companion. We're also desperately looking for a foster home with a confident resident dog while he waits for his forever home. Kennel life simply isn't helping him, and a home environment could make all the difference while he waits for his forever family. Bart isn't asking for much. Just one person to believe in him. Someone out there has the peaceful home he's been waiting for. Someone who had a confident friendly dog already who could help him find his confidence. Could that someone be you to give him that happy ending?
