Burton is an outgoing, confident, and delightfully goofy boy with a big personality to match his big heart. This strong, playful kid loves to stay busy and isn’t shy about asking for attention. He’ll happily move from person to person leaning in for pets, love, and affection. After a good play session (and yes, some drool), Burton is perfectly content sitting next to his favorite human on the couch.
He enjoys playtime and does especially well with durable rubber toys, balls, and tug toys. While he’ll play with soft toys, he prefers sturdier options and can also self-entertain when needed. Burton is playful, social, and enjoys sharing his toys with people.
Burton already knows sit and shake, and he’s continuing to learn polite manners, including being more gentle when taking treats and toys. He is very playful with other dogs and may do well with the right dog friend following proper introductions. With continued training, Burton may also have potential to live with confident cats.
Due to his enthusiastic and mouthy play style, Burton would do best in a home with children ages 12 and up. He’s an overall silly, fun-loving boy who will thrive in a home ready to keep him engaged, continue his training, and enjoy his affectionate, playful nature.
Burton is ready to bring joy, laughs, and lots of love to his future family!
