Meet Bertha II
6/16/2026 Bertha II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Bertha II! I am a beautiful 7 year old brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner not having the time or ability to care for me. I am bonded with my littermate, Rocky, and need to be adopted together which means double the boxer love! I am described as friendly, active, smart, protective, playful, and affectionate! I live with my littermate Rocky and we get along great! If I meet other dogs I do not know, I am reactive until I connect with them. I do not live with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. There are no children in my home but I have had exposure to a 4 year old and am said to be kid friendly! I am house trained, crate trained, eat Instinct raw dog food, and at night I sleep on a dog bed in the living room. If the humans must be away, I am fine with other dogs to keep me company. When outside I have great behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, a ball, and giving & receiving affection! If you think Rocky and I would make a great addition to your home contact the rescue today and give them our names because we are waiting to meet you!

Adopting Bertha II — FAQ
How do I adopt Bertha II?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Austin Boxer Rescue in Austin, Texas. Lily's Second Chance lists Bertha II to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Bertha II still available for adoption?
Bertha II's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Bertha II is still available directly with Austin Boxer Rescue before making plans.
Is Bertha II a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Bertha II, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Bertha II instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Bertha II's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Bertha II?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Bertha II good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Austin Boxer Rescue can tell you about Bertha II's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
