My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bertie will be adopted ONLY in the Greater St. Louis area. No exceptions. Prospective adopters must have dog experience.

Bertie is a handsome boy. He loves his family and his food. He doesn’t like to play with toys inside, but is happy to play ball outside, and he’s a pretty good at catch. Bertie is also very food motivated. Bertie’s favorite thing in the world is to run around the back yard and bark at squirrels. Bertie is looking for a quiet home and he would like to be the only dog in the family. Bertie doesn’t like loud noises or any noise out of place. He will bark when he hears things that aren’t normal sounds like trucks, doors slamming or other dogs, because of his sensitivity to noise he would not do well in an apartment. He has even alerted us when someone was in our backyard in the middle of the night. He is a trash can kinda’ guy, so trash cans must be under counters or kept out of his reach. Bertie is not happy to see his humans leave the house, and will tell you so with a bark until the door is closed, he’s a sweet sensitive soul.

If Bertie was a little taller he would be a professional counter surfer. Dang those short legs! Bertie is 100% potty trained, rides very well in the car, is crate trained and will basically do anything for food. Bertie can be guarded with his food bowl, and therefore he will not be adopted to a home with young children or other dogs. Bertie is OK with cats. He likes being the center of attention.

Bertie is 6 years old, up-to-date on all vaccines, and is on heartworm preventative. He is microchipped. Please read our website at www.petssecondchance.org before calling. For more information contact claireelizabeth@petssecondchance.org or call 314-422-2350.
