Our delectable chocolate boy Bertie is looking for a new home!
Bertie is a playful, easy-going dog who will make a great addition to his new home. He is a smoocher of a boy who gives lots of kisses and cuddles. He loves getting pats, gentle head scratches and chest rubs. It sometimes feels like he spends more time upside down than upright – particularly if he is napping on his bed or on the grass in the sun! He likes to be touching you, whether it’s sleeping by your feet while you work from home or snuggling up against you on the couch. On the flip side, he will happily entertain himself as well. He loves hard chew toys and loves to throw his soft toys around in the air, pounce on them and then repeat. He is also a bit of a goofball who will have a gallop around the yard and then slide into something with a derpy look on his face that just makes you laugh.
Bertie loves his doggy friends and is very dog social. He will need a home with another friendly and playful dog who can enjoy a game with him and keep him company. He loves to run around with other dogs and enjoys a good game of tug of war with a rope toy. He has good play manners, often stopping to take a break or picking up cues from the dog he is playing with if they want a rest. Bertie will need a home where he is taken on daily walks and given mental stimulation to keep him healthy and happy throughout his life.
He is a smart boy and shows a willingness to please. He has learned things quickly and knows how to sit, stay and wait for his dinner. His lead walking skills are good and will generally only really pull if he gets excited to see another dog or spots one of those very tempting brush turkeys or plovers lurking around. Unfortunately, he will chase them and wildlife if given the chance. At home, Bertie is toilet trained and will take himself outside. He is also crate trained and sleeps there throughout the night without a peep. Additionally, he travels well in the car and would love to join his new owners on trips and adventures.
We are looking for a dog experienced home for Bertie where he will be a loved member of the family and taken on by someone who wants to get the absolute best out of him. As mentioned, we are looking to rehome him with another friendly and playful adult dog who is already fully trained and ready to be a great role model for him. He has no problems being left home alone with a doggy companion here and there in his foster home. His new home should have someone home more often than not as he does love to be by your side. Bertie should be allowed inside to be with the family and will need a warm comfy bed inside to sleep on at night. This boy is a great medium size and weighs a tidy 23.5kg.
Bertie has been around children over 8 years of age and is great around them. He’s been recently adopted and is loved. He is being offered for readoption as the current owners’ lifestyle takes them and him to the country and they are concerned that Bertie goes after the wild life.
If you would like to make this beautiful boy a part of your life, then please complete a Dog Adoption Enquiry form on the Fetching Dogs website as the first step. Please include plenty of information about your previous dog experience, current household members (including the furry one!), and the type of lifestyle Bertie would have with you.
