My story

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

Meet Bert


Age: 1 year

Breed: Black Staffordshire Mix


Bert is a young and energetic Staffordshire mix who loves to socialize and play with other dogs. He`s a strong and athletic dog, so he does tend to pull on the leash, but his friendly nature and enthusiasm make him a joy to be around.


Playgroup Behavior:


Push Pull Selective: Bert chooses his playmates selectively but engages in push-pull play.

Playful: He enjoys playing and interacting with other dogs.

Some Steering: He responds to handlers but can require guidance.

Greetings: Bert is friendly and greets other dogs well.

Minor Assertive: He can show some assertive tendencies in group settings.

Arousal Humping: This is noted as a normal behavior in playgroup.

Conflict Driven: Occasionally, Bert may show conflict-driven behaviors.


Bert would do well in an active home that can appreciate his playful energy and work with his athletic abilities.

Go meet their pets

If you see a pet that you like on this site, hurry in before someone else beats you to it! (No need to email us first.)
You are invited to meet our pets anytime during our business hours. We also have cats available at the Ocala Petsense (East Silver Springs Blvd) store everyday. We regularly have adoption events which we advertise on our Facebook page.

More about this shelter

Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
