Bert

G'day everyone! My name's Bert, and while my foster family has a few nicknames for me (Mr. Reynolds, Snuggle Bug, Goofball – you get the idea!), Bert is the one that really sticks. I'm a handsome 2-year-old Kelpie cross boy who's ready to find my forever home.

I absolutely adore people! Meeting new friends is one of my favourite things, and sometimes my excitement gets the better of me. But don't worry, my foster carers are helping me learn to greet new faces with a bit more calm, and I'm doing really well! I'm a big fan of snuggles and cuddles, and I'll happily soak up all the pats you can give.

While I love to be close to my humans, being inside can still feel a little overwhelming for me. We're taking things slowly, and I'm making progress, but I'm definitely most comfortable in the great outdoors right now. With a bit of patience and understanding, I think I could learn to love indoor snuggles too!

I love playing with other dogs and get along well with everyone I meet. My foster sister sometimes tells me off when I get a bit too excited, and I always respect her boundaries. I can sit and I am working really hard to master stay, but not quite there yet.

If you're an active family, I'm your man! I'll happily go on as many walks as you can take me on – I'm told I walk beautifully on the lead, never pull, and I'm not bothered by other dogs. Plus, I'm a fantastic road trip buddy and travel super well in the car.

Being a working dog I am looking for a home that understands my breed and energy levels, I do like daily walks and I'm loving the enrichment activities my carers are leaving for me when they are not home. I would be ok as an only dog, but having a friend would be pretty awesome as well.

I'm truly the happiest, goodest boy, and I promise you won't be disappointed if you welcome me into your home. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who's eager to learn and explore, I might just be the perfect fit.

Bert is located in VIC.
