I am now the sole caretaker for my mother and am unable to provide Bertha the attention she needs. She needs a yard to run around in. I live in a condo and am unable to provide the best home for her. She always wants to play with my geriatric Yorkie with a heart murmur which causes him stress. in addition, I am allergic to bertha. I really want to find her the best situation possible."

Bertha's guardian states the following regarding children: Although Bertha hasn't lived with children, her guardian recommends her living with children, stating "She wants to meet them, say hello, and be petted". Bertha's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Bertha has lives with a dog, so her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating "She always wants to play with other dogs. She can be a little aggressive at first, but then warms up to the other dog".
