About *Bertha (Labrador retriever) in Burbank

*Bertha is waiting for you at Burbank Animal Shelter in Burbank, CA 91502. 2/3/26 from Bertha's day hike foster: Bertha... she and I have formed a nice bond. The take-away with her is that trust is earned and it takes time and effort. Bertha is a sweet, chill, loving dog who would make a fantastic companion.

Bertha watches every dog, and if they bark, she'll bark. She will also occasionally bark if she doesn't like the look of a dog, but she mostly seems to be matching energy. I posted pics and a short video to IG and tagged the VBAS (link below). She is best described as Bertha: very important executive pup. She is highly focused, dedicated, passionate, and motivated. She is always on alert, ready to micromanage the most mundane task. But... after we walked off some of her energy (2%, tops), she was happy to sit under a shady tree in the cool dirt and just be in the moment. And she is a champ in the car. So great getting in and out, and an excellent tr
