BART was lucky to go to our amazing foster family on Saturday, 14th September and just over a week in we have a great update:

Bart is a stunning 6-month-old Belgian Malinois mix with a heart of gold. He’s the absolute sweetest little man, and he’s perfected a few moves to get your attention. He’ll do what we call his "sweet face," sticking his nose up and giving you a side-eye until you give him a good ear scratch.
 
But if that doesn't work, he’ll try his "double-tap"—putting one paw on your lap, and then both paws, all while making his cute pointed puppy face. Bart is as smart as he is adorable. He's already mastered several tricks with us and, with the right dedicated family, he’ll be a quick study for even more.
 
This playful pup is a big fan of soccer balls and LOVES romping around with his foster siblings. He will happily take a treat as a reward, but love and affection is his ideal reward.
 
As a young Malinois mix, Bart is a higher-energy dog who needs plenty of outdoor time, so we take him out for 10-20 minute sessions three to four times a day. At least until he learns his new families routine. He’s a perfect mix of couch potato and running partner; he’ll happily nap with you indoors but is also ready to run around if you are.
 
Bart will thrive with a devoted family who understands his need for both mental and physical exercise. He’s ready to give his whole heart to the right people.
