came to PAWS-LI via a high-kill shelter in NYC after being left behind in a vacant apartment by his previous owner, with only his favorite toys and treats packed up in a bag to go along with him. Berti has been diagnosed with rear leg paralysis, (he wears a diaper for dual incontinence) but with his happy, loving, and playful demeanor, you'd think he didn't even notice. He scoots around well with his upper body strength, quite easily and very quickly! When he needs assistance leaving (or returning to) the house, his foster mom helps him with his harness so he can spend time just lying around or exploring outside and taking in all the scents. If it were up to him, he'd spend hours outside just lazing in the sun, sniffing the air. He is very emotionally intuitive, appearing at his foster mom's side when he senses she's feeling down. He loves to rest his head on everyone's lap, and better yet, would love to lie in your lap if you sit on the floor with him! When it comes time to change his diaper, he assists as best he can, lifting his hips to make it easier for you. He rides great in the car and loves sticking his nose out the window or resting his chin in-between the 2 front seats. He is good with other dogs (very forward and friendly), and unknown with cats at this time, as he has not met one since being taken in by his foster mom. He loves children, especially those who will tug on his rope endlessly with him! He is fine with being left alone in the house and has no separation anxiety whatsoever. Upon returning home, his foster mom receives the most heartfelt greeting! Sometimes his enthusiasm causes him to nearly fall over backwards! He just can't contain his happiness! Also while being left alone, he has not once "relocated" or destroyed a single thing. There is never a need to crate him. Caring for a disabled dog may not always be the easiest undertaking, but the love and appreciation (and laughs!) that Berti has to give you will definitely make up for it. If interested in learning more about him or meeting this sweet boy, please contact adoptionspaws-li.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
