Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bertrand!
Bertrand was found running around Main St in downtown Moscow and was swiftly taken to HSoP. Without any pet ID to go on, we tried our very best to track down his owners. Unfortunately, an owner was never located and Bertrand was never claimed. No worries though, now he's on the hunt for his loving new forever home!
We estimate Bertrand to be around 3 or 4 years old. He seems pretty affected by the loud and stressful environment of the dog kennels, and acts like a completely different dog when he's outside, away from the constant noise. Inside the kennels, Bertrand barks loudly, jumps, and doesn't show the truly sweet dog that we've come to know him as. When he's outside on his own and can spend time with people one-on-one, the true Bertrand comes out to shine.
This happy boy is strongly treat motivated and will eagerly sit when asked. We aren't sure if he knows any other commands, but he's incredibly smart and would likely pick them up in no time. As a border collie mix, Bertrand has a fair load of energy to burn each day. He'll need not only physical exercise, but also mental enrichment to truly thrive. Bertrand would appreciate daily walks or access to a secure outdoor space to he can run around to his heart's content. For mental enrichment, Bertrand would do well with having a job to focus on. Other forms of mental enrichment include slow feeder bowls, snuffle mats, frozen treats, sniffing games, and much more. The internet is full of fun enrichment ideas to keep him occupied during the day!
Bertrand can be pretty affectionate with his human friends. This isn't immediately obvious inside the dog kennels, but when you're outside with him, Bertrand will come right up and try to give you "hugs". Despite how much he loves people, Bertrand doesn't appreciate his canine neighbors at HSoP. We aren't sure how he would do in a home with other pets, but we do offer a seven-day foster period with each adoption and require all dogs to meet any dogs in the home prior to adoption.
If you would like to meet Bertrand, we encourage youth visit him at HSoP Between 2-5pm Monday through Saturday. No appointment needed! Just stop by when you have some time. We're located at 2019 E White Ave Moscow, ID 83843. Bertrand will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped with his new owner's information by the time he goes home. His adoption fee is $135.
