Bert’s Story

Bert (and his brother Ernie) came to us as an emergency intake after being seized from a criminal abuse and neglect case. What the former owners did to their 20+ animals was so bad, they went to jail for it. Dogs were found all over the property, tethered to trees, and some were inside a roach-infested home. All were being neglected and hadn’t eaten for days.

A good Samaritan came and got all the dogs after the police took the former owners away. Bert and Ernie were the most senior pups, so Penny’s welcomed them with open arms.

Bert is a 12-year old pittie, and he is the most affectionate boy we’ve ever met! He is constantly glued to the humans here, and hates to be alone. Bert’s favorite hobby is licking legs and cuddling up on the couch. He also likes to stand at the gate and scare the delivery drivers senseless - lol!

For his age, Bert is in very good health. He runs, jumps, plays, and has no real signs of being a 12-year old boy.
