About Bertha

Bertha's Story Meet Bertha, a 3-year-old Mastiff mix with a heart as big as her paws. Bertha's journey hasn't been the easiest — she was found abandoned in an apartment after her owners moved out and left her behind. Thankfully, caring neighbors stepped in and did what they could for her before bringing her to a shelter so she could have a real chance at a better life. From there, Bertha went into a temporary foster home while waiting for a full-time foster, and that's where her true personality began to shine. At first, Bertha was very shy and unsure, but it didn't take long to see just how much love she had to give. With patience and kindness, she blossomed into the goofy, affectionate girl she truly is. Bertha absolutely loves to play and will never turn down a cozy lap to lay her big head on. She has lived with other dogs and has done well with them, but she would prefer a home without cats. When Bertha was rescued, she was very malnourished, so we are still working on helping her gain healthy weight. Her future family should expect her to be a big girl, likely around 110 lbs once she's fully filled out — which just means 110 pounds of love. Bertha is looking for a family that will never leave her behind again — one that will give her the security, love, and couch space she deserves. In return, she'll give you endless loyalty, laughs, and the sweetest snuggles. Could Bertha be the missing piece of your family?
