My name is Burt!

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet Mr. Burt! He is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is almost ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'bow', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Burt is always happy! He makes friends with everyone he meets. When he entered the PACK program, he struggled a bit on leash meeting new dogs. He had a hard time containing his excitement, which led to frustration on leash. He is consistently working on this and it's getting better. When he is off leash playing with dogs, he does great! Breaks may be a good idea when the energy gets high, but he recalls very well.

Burt does well sharing toys with other dogs and he doesn't seem to mind his kennel when his people are away either.

The only thing we have noticed Burt doesn't get along with is cats. He should go to a cat-free home after he graduates.

Burt loves to play fetch, and tennis balls with a squeaker are his preferred toy. He will graduate towards the end of May. If you're looking for a playful and friendly buddy, apply to meet him today!
