My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Burke was just a puppy when he was found as a stray in the summer of 2023. He needed some cleaning up, and he also needed to learn how to become a happy, well-rounded member of society. Fast forward to now, and here's Burke! He's a 1 1/2 year old husky mix that came to us from our sister shelters and he's had loads of training since his arrival. Burke is totally transformed, but he'll need a home where his training is reinforced so he keeps on being his best self! Don't get Burke wrong at all: he never means any harm! But he can get mouthy while playing if you let him. He knows very well how to behave though. Burke is friendly, sweet, happy, he listens intently, he LOVES to swim, fetch, and have a great time! Burke has lots of energy and a home with a nice yard to exercise in would be ideal. He needs a cat and kid-free home but he loves other dogs! He would love you forever if you took him on outings and adventures, and gave him the home of his dreams, forever. Please give bubbly Burke a chance! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#67188 8/14/23
