Bert is a 9 week old blue merle Aussie pup with a docked tail. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. Please visit: www.aussierescuega.com for adoption information.

Bert does have some vision loss but gets around very well. Bert does have good hearing and responds to verbal commands very well. Once he hears you, he will immediately stop and start tracking the air to find you. You can view Bert’s mobility at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy2gQ_fnrkI.

Here's what Bert's foster home has to say about him: "Bert is finally coming out of his little shell and starting to act like a puppy. He attacks your feet when you are walking outside and Bert follows Cash around and will occasionally bite at his feet when they are both lying down. He has accepted that he will have to eat dry food too, and has taken to attacking that as ferociously as he does the wet food. He still seems a bit underweight, but we are working on that. He has picked out 3 spots around the house that he will pass out in and 1 spot where he goes to when he wants to "fight" with his nemesis the window curtain drawstring. He even hops around and barks at it every once in a while, which is the only noise I have heard out of him." A fenced yard is a requirement for those adopting Bert. It will also be really nice if he had a sighted companion to help lead him. However, he also seems to do just fine on his own, enjoying gardening with his foster family for hours on end. He is fostered in Atlanta, GA and adopters must travel to meet/adopt him, he will not be shipped or transported out of state.
