Bert Maltese Wausau, WI

If you've ever watched sesame Street then you know Bert and Ernie are the best of friends. I'm Bert and I'm looking for a bestie!

My first life was that of a breeder and now I'm ready to move on to a life of playing, having fun, and snuggling. Man do I love snuggling! My foster mom is working really hard at teaching me where to go potty. Like I said my first life wasn't the best, so I just went wherever but each day I get a little better at remembering to go potty outside. I love playing with toys, especially if they squeak! I also love stretching out on my back to catch a good nap. I love if I can get someone to rub my belly while I'm all stretched out but if not, don't worry- I'll come find you to get a good pet. I would love if I could have a friend in the house to play with and teach me how to be a dog. I'm still uncertain about new things but my foster mom says I'm getting braver and braver each day. If you'd like to be my new best friend and help build my confidence please check me out at Fetch Foster and Rescue!

Every dog is different, but here is some information on what bringing a breeder dog into your home can be like and some supports they may need to transition into their new life! While it can be challenging at first, it is incredibly rewarding to see these dogs grow and come out of their shells.
