Bert

My story

This pet is eligible for the SENIORS ADOPTING SENIORS initiative! Seniors (65+) are permitted to adopt a senior dog (8+) for the reduced fee of $75.00 ABOUT ME… Hey there, I'm Bert! Some say I’ve got the charm of my namesake—Burt Reynolds—minus the mustache but with all the charisma. I may be past my prime to stay on the run from Smokey, but I sure do love a good road trip, a long walk, or just riding shotgun with my favorite human. Life has been a bit of a winding road for me. My mom passed away, and when my dad had to move into a care facility, my world got turned upside down. My caretakers wanted the best for me but couldn’t keep me, so they reached out to CO•PAW. That’s when my amazing foster family stepped in to help me heal and get ready for my next big adventure—finding my forever home. Through it all, I’ve been determined to stay a true gentleman—kind, loyal, and always up for some fun. Whether we’re cruising the open road or relaxing on the couch, I’m just happy to be part of the ride. I AM GREAT WITH... House manners—I know where to do my business: outside. I love long walks or just being your couch pal. I get along well with dogs big and small, and I adore people. My foster dad hasn’t had a chance to introduce me to cats, but I have a feeling we’d get along just fine. He also says I’ve got a heart as big and powerful as a Trans Am’s engine. I AM STILL WORKING ON... Figuring out what’s next. After losing my home, I’m still getting used to change. But I’ve been so lucky to have kind humans looking out for me, and I know my perfect family is just around the bend. I REQUIRE... Daily medication for arthritis. VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense. Alternatively, the adopter can use their own vet to boost vaccinations, at their own expense. TERMS & CONDITIONS... ~Adopters must reside in the State of Ohio. ~No transportation assistance is provided; adopter must commute for meet & greet. ~Meet & greets are not scheduled until there is an approved adoption application on file. ~The expectation is that you will bring your new pet home from the meet & greet, if all goes well. Please be prepared to do so by bringing a collar, leash, harness, crate, etc. to secure your new pet.
