Our boy Bert has only 1 wish – !!! Update November 2016 !!!
We have fantastic news for Bert: our boy has found a foster home in Germany. Soon he is allowed to pack his case and let the bars behind him! We are soooo happy for our boy. After long 8 years in the shelter! he can begin a new life. 
Hey folks,
my name is Bert and I am 8 years old, born 2008 in Cyprus, somewhere in the near of Nicosia.
Volunteers catched us from a field, where me, my mom and my siblings lived.
We had a hard life there, no water, no food and no one cares about us. Ahm, ok, the residents „cared „ about us. They wanted to poison us, because we were unwanted there.
I reminds me, that it was a warm day in autumn as we were brought to a place to many other dogs. The humans call it a shelter. My mom and we pups were not happy about it. We didn´t know humans, we didn´t know what they wanted from us, if they were friendly or not. It was not a nice place, we had not much space in our kennel and it was dirty and loud. In 2008 there were not enough volunteers there, like now. We had nearly no contact to humans, expect from the time we got food and the pen got cleaned. After some years the situation changed. The shelter got bigger and more and more volunteers offered their help…
Ok, enough from the past. I tell you that only for knowing where I come from.
If you count correct, next month I am 8 years in the shelter. Believe it or not. Everybody tells me the same: it is time for me to find a family and get to know a life outside of the shelter. I thought about it, many times, and I think they are right. It is time for me.
I have a dream, my wish for this christmas and all the others who come: I really wish me a forever home! I sat enough behind shelter bars. So many dogs came and went, so many dogs told me the same: a forever home with people which love you is like to hit the jackpot. It is time for me to leave. I want to make someone really happy, with my charming smile. I can make you happy, in the morning, in the evening, whenever you want. I wish I can have my own humans around me, which will make me my own yummi food, and get cuddles, and walks, and sniffle around and all the other things which are told me.
I have not big claims, and not many. I only wish me a loving home with a mom or a dad, or both. Children are also ok, and cats too.
Are you my mommy or my daddy?
I can come to you with a plane with my pretty ribbon in the nice red box. Ok ok, I can not promise I can come in a red box, but I will come with my biggest smile and will open my big hard only for you.
In hopeful love,
your Bert
