Hey, new besties! I am Roberta! I give off Dug from “Up” vibes, the quote that best embodies me is “My name is Bertie. I have just met you, and I love you.” Sometimes I am a little slow to warm up to big, strange men, but I still get there. I love kids too, but I am essentially a large, potty-trained puppy. With training I would be fantastic for all ages, but for right now as I learn commands and to control my wiggly body when I am excited, I would probably be best suited for older kids that I can’t tip over. I am 1 year old and 58 pounds but am a bit underweight, I shouldn’t grow anymore but I will fill out a little more.

I am the happiest gal around, even after I was abandoned by my former owners at a dog sitter’s home, my light can’t be dimmed. I love to play with people and other dogs! When I came into my new foster home from the shelter I was slow to warm up to the pack. I put my hackles up and growled a little, this was mostly a bluff for self-preservation (there be some big dogs in this place!) This is likely also due to the new home jitters, and perhaps a little lack of confidence. With a structure, a routine, and a solid human leader to love me, I will thrive when meeting new dogs. Now that I have been in my new foster home for a week I feel much more comfortable with my foster siblings. I want to play with all of them so bad! They do get a little annoyed by my vivaciousness and I take their corrections well but sometimes they need a break, so my foster mom has me relax in my crate for a little while. I actually do well with little dogs, according to the shelter that I came from. Maybe I could be good with a dog savvy cat too?

I am great in the crate! I sleep all night long without whining. I am not destructive in the house; I don’t chew on my bed or anything besides my toys. I once chewed up a tasty bush outside but, I was bored, and perhaps a little hungry? I have never had an accident in the house or my crate, I am such a good girl about using the doggy door and going potty outside. I love to cuddle humans! I could sleep in your lap for hours and my ears are as soft as the Velveteen Rabbit. I am great in the car, I ride quietly, and I don’t get car sick. I do need to get my exercise, but I am more than capable of relaxing, a very well-rounded girl. I do need some leash fine tuning but I love to go for walks!
