Adopt Bert

Shih Tzu · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Bert could live with children aged 5+. He could potentially live with another dog and cats or small animals. Bert is a delightful little lad who has bags of character! He is very much a typical pup – affectionate, playful and full of beans! He will require all of the basic training and socialisation that all puppies must undergo and needs a family who can give him the time, effort, patience and commitment that he deserves. Given his mix of breeds, Bert may be on the larger size once fully grown and be quite a high-energy boy. He will need an active and experienced family who can keep up with him and help him develop into a confident and well-rounded adult dog. We have limited background information on Bert’s life prior to arriving here at the shelter but his previous owner did mention that he struggled with some separation anxiety and so this is something his new family must be prepared to help him through, gradually building up any time that he is left alone. Bert is an adorable little chap who is as bright as a button. He is a pleasure to spend time with and we have no doubt he will bring so much joy to his forever family. He may not have had the greatest of starts to his young life, but we can’t wait to see him thrive and grow into a brilliant lad in his forever home.
