My story

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

Bert and Ernie are an inseparable pair of best friends who do everything together. Whether they’re snuggling up for a nap or enjoying a walk side by side, these two share an unbreakable bond.

When Ernie feels uncertain or scared, Bert is right there to guide him and offer comfort. Bert, ever the social butterfly, adores belly rubs and being the center of attention. Meanwhile, Ernie prefers to stay a little more in the background, quietly observing and staying involved without feeling overwhelmed.This duo is searching for a calm, loving home where they can settle in and thrive. Their ideal family will offer the patience and understanding they need as they adjust to their new surroundings. Bert is working towards reaching a healthy weight so he can get back to running and playing like he used to, while Ernie would love a peaceful environment where he can gain confidence and trust, knowing that love always comes around for a second chance.
