My story

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

Contact the foster at, bnstryker2018@icloud.com

Burt is a sweet boy who would do best in a home where he is the only animal, no small children, and a family who will play fetch and tug-of-war with him as often as possible!
-Very friendly, lovable, and loves attention
-Great in the car (enjoys sticking his head out the window)
-LOVES to play (loves chew toys and fetch)
-Knows sit, shake, and speak
-Seems to be crate trained
-Doesn’t bark much
-Decent on the leash, but is very strong and will sometimes pull
-Doesn’t act like he’s 7. Burt has just as much energy as our 3.5 year old lab and can keep up with her! He still has many playful, happy years ahead of him!
-Very interested in cats (perhaps a little too interested). I did not allow them to interact due to the small size of the kitten (only 6 weeks and less than 2 lbs), but he may be okay with adult cats. Would recommend very slow introduction to cats.
-Has been around other dogs in the past but Burt tends to give inappropriate hugs and makes the other dog uncomfortable. This has lessend since his neuter.
-Burt isn’t very careful with his mouth when playing or taking food from hands, which is why I recommend a home with no small children. He’s not aggressive in any way, he just also isn’t very careful or graceful.
