About Bertie

Bertie is looking for a quiet, rural home with patient, understanding adopters who will let him discover the world at his own pace. A private, secure garden is essential, as Bertie may not feel ready for walks straight away and will need time to build up his confidence before venturing into the big wide world. Bertie would thrive best in an adult only home with very few visitors, so he can feel safe and settled without the pressure of meeting lots of new people. He finds comfort in having a secure space to retreat to and already enjoys resting in his crate, so having one available in his new home would be beneficial to ensure Bertie feels as safe and comfortable as possible. Time left alone will also need to be introduced gradually. Above all, Bertie needs patient adopters who are willing to take things slow and understand that every step forward should happen at his pace. Bertie is a two year old Crossbreed with a gentle heart and a playful spirit waiting to shine. Watching Bertie grow in confidence is incredibly rewarding, and once you've earned his trust, you'll discover the wonderfully goofy boy hiding beneath his shy exterior. When he decides you're one of his favourite people, he will run over and throw himself at you for a cuddle! He adores soft toys, loves a game of ball in the garden with people he knows, and is wonderfully animated and excitable. Bertie has already made fantastic progress and continues to grow in confidence, proving that with kindness and patience he is ready to keep blossoming into a sweet, loyal companion.
