Big Bertha's Story

What I need in a Forever Home: <br/><br/>• A home where someone is around often (I love companionship!)<br/>• Dogs are Okay!<br/>• Dog-savvy kids are Okay!<br/>• Nice, short walks at my pace<br/><br/>Hi there… I’m Bertha — but my friends call me Big Bertha (don’t worry, I’m working on the “big” part). Some say my other name, Sunshine, fits me even better… because I’m basically a warm, fluffy ray of love wherever I go.<br/><br/>I’m a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who made my way all the way from Texas, and I brought my big heart with me. I love other dogs — they make me so happy — so I’d be thrilled to have a furry sibling. I also really love my people and don’t like being alone too much, so a home where someone is around often would be perfect for me.<br/><br/>I’m more of a relaxed, easygoing girl these days. I enjoy my downtime, a cozy place to rest, and nice short walks where I can take in the world at my own pace. My absolute favorite thing in the whole world is belly rubs — I truly believe there’s no such thing as too many. And if you ever forget, I’ll gently remind you with my signature “Pyr paw” (it’s very effective, if I do say so myself).<br/><br/>I can do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids who understand that a gentle girl like me appreciates kindness and calm energy. I’ve got the sweetest soul and just want to be near my people, soaking up love and giving it right back.<br/><br/>I’ll be honest… I could stand to lose a few pounds (hey, who can resist snacks?!), but with some light exercise and lots of encouragement, I’ll be feeling my best in no time.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a calm, loving, slightly goofy companion who will stick by your side and brighten your days, I think we might be perfect for each other.
