Meet Bert
Hi! I'm Bert! I am a very handsome Mountain Cur/mixed dog. The ladies go wild about me. I’m about 2 years old and weigh about 35 pounds. I’m house-trained. I don’t really play or destroy toys. Think of all the money you’ll save. Unlike other dogs who take the stuffing out – what a shame. I enjoy walking & do very well. All I want to do is be by your side. We can enjoy the day together. I do enjoy a good long belly & ear rub. I seldom bark when I’m indoors, even when the door bell rings. I do an extremely happy dance & cry when I see my foster after being away from each other. (Every morning and after being left alone.) I'll do this for you once I know you well.
It does take time for me to warm up to other people, dogs, & new situations. I am scared, so please be patient with me. I am improving & have been doing much better interacting with other dogs & people. My foster mom took me to a dog park & we met up with my biological brother Jarvis who was adopted, and Oreo whose family watched me for the weekend a long time ago. I still remember them! You have to watch the video. My foster mom & friends were shocked on how well I behaved. I had a tail wiggly time that day. I tend to get attached to one main person. Other family members may have to be more patient for me to trust them.
No one wants to be home alone, especially me. I have been left alone in the gated kitchen where my crate/bed is. My foster family is slowly extending my alone time. To my surprise, I’m doing pretty well. Hooray for me. My foster tried leaving me in my crate, but I was barking. They are still trying. It’s hard for me. Having another dog would be the most wonderful thing for me. It’s nice to have a buddy.
Bert is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and neutered. His new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.
Bert's adoption fee is $350. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this pup fill out an Online Application today!
Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive on time (or early), as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
