Bert

This pup will be available to meet starting on 11/14If there's one dog who deserves a happily ever after, it's Bert!Bert once had a person to call his own, but sadly, his owner passed away. A friend tried to care for him but could no longer do so, and Bert eventually found himself abandoned on a property belonging to a woman known for animal hoarding. Through no fault of his own, this wonderful boy lost the only life he knew.But here's the beautiful thing about Bert. Despite everything he's been through, he hasn't lost an ounce of love for the world!Bert is an absolute SOCIAL BUTTERFLY who adores people, loves other dogs, and has never met a belly rub he didn't appreciate! He's the kind of dog who just wants to be everyone's best friend, and honestly, he's pretty darn good at it! This handsome gentleman also comes with some impressive credentials! He knows how to sit, offers his paw like a proper little gentleman, walks on a leash, takes treats gently, and appears to be potty trained. He loves toys, snacks, and soaking up every bit of affection he can get. And that little paw shake? We're pretty sure it's his way of saying, "Nice to meet you! Can I come home with you now?" Bert has quickly become a staff favorite, and it's impossible not to fall in love with his happy, gentle, affectionate personality. He's simply one of those special dogs who makes everyone around him smile. Bert has already lost his person, his home, and the security every dog deserves. Now he's ready to put his best paw forward and start a brand new chapter with a family who will love him for the rest of his life. He doesn't need anything fancy. Just a safe home, a soft bed, some belly rubs, and someone who will never give up on him. Bert is ready to give his whole heart to someone againThey were rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees are non refundable once a pet is taken home. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up in Colorado, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances delaying pick up. Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.
