My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Bertha!



Snuggly Loving Going for Walks Enthusiast Attention Lover 



This mantle-coated Great Dane possesses a heart of gold and a strong spirit despite her partial vision impairment. This gentle giant is a master of the art of relaxation and adores the spotlight. With her gentle nudges, she'll have your heart wrapped around her paw in no time.



One of her favorite pastimes is snuggling, and she's a pro at it. Another favorite activity is going on walks. Despite her vision impairment in one eye, she's eager to explore and experience the world alongside you. Her enthusiasm is contagious, making each walk an adventure to remember. Initially, Bertha disliked bath time, but her foster family worked consistently with her and now bath and grooming time is an excellent bonding experience!



While we're uncertain of her reactions to cats, her foster family has noticed zero prey drive. Loud noises make her uneasy, so a calm and quiet environment is where she can fully relax. Due to this, a home with older or no children would be best. Bertha is a non-reactive dog and would do well with another dog in her forever home if it is submissive.



Due to her partial vision impairment a physical fence and minimal steps are a requirement for her forever home. She has no medical/health issues but has gained recognition for snoring loudly.



Bertha is a one-of-a-kind treasure, a master of snuggles, and an explorer of life's little joys.
