Bert – In foster – South East

Welcome to the GBSR family, Bert!

We are overjoyed to introduce Bert, a 3-year-old male with the sweetest nature you could imagine. His journey to us was filled with urgency and compassion.

We received a heartfelt plea from a lady desperate to save Bert and another dog from the council kennel. Unfortunately, they have had a virus outbreak that had tragically claimed the lives of other dogs. They had contacted the previous owner, did not want them back. It was a race against time to bring Bert into our care and ensure his safety.

Finding a dog-free foster home was a challenge, as we couldn’t risk spreading the virus to other dogs. But we knew we had to act swiftly to protect Bert from the outbreak.

A huge thank you to Laura Scott, whose incredible kindness and dedication made it possible to rescue Bert. Laura, you went above and beyond, collecting him late at night and ensuring his safe transport to his foster family, Toni Boxall, in the South East.

Bert is now settling in wonderfully and, so far, shows no signs of illness. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we got him out just in time. He is such a sweet-natured boy, and we can’t fathom how he ended up in a council pound.

Thank you, Laura and Toni, for your unwavering support and love. Bert is now safe and loved, and we are so grateful to have him as part of our GBSR family.
