Bertie

Bertie is a fun, affectionate young lad with so much potential. Once he knows you, he absolutely loves fuss, playtime and spending quality time with his favourite people. One of his favourite things in the world is his toys, and he's always happiest when there's a toy to carry, chase or play with. His playful, cheeky personality really shines through as his confidence grows. Although Bertie can be anxious in unfamiliar situations, with kindness, consistency and ongoing training he continues to make fantastic progress. Watching him relax, learn and enjoy life is incredibly rewarding, and for the right person he'll make a loyal, loving companion who will always be by your side. Bertie is looking for patient, committed adopters who understand that building trust takes time. He will need an adult-only home with few visitors and a calm, predictable routine where he can continue his training and grow in confidence. It will be best for Bertie to have multiple meets with his new family here at the centre as well as home visits. This will allow time to build up a relationship and for the team to show just how amazing with his training skills he is and help the transisition to homelife be a smooth one. To aid these meets, adopters will need to live within reasonable traveling distance to the centre. His ideal home will be in a quiet location with access to peaceful walking areas away from busy roads and other dogs. Bertie will need to be the only pet in the home, and his adopters should be happy to follow his behaviour plans, including gradual introductions to new people, vet handling and dog work. Bertie will be very rewading for adopters who have experince with these behaviours and have the time to devote to him.
