My story

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

Hi there! I'm Burke! I would love to find a home with my best friend, Thora. Unfortunately for us, this is the third time we have found ourselves in the shelter. The first time, Thora and I were in very bad shape and were so malnourished we could hardly stand and walk. We have been able to live in a home for the past six years, but through no fault of our own find ourselves at the shelter once again as senior pup. Despite our age, we are still active and fun-seeking! We love to spend time with each other, but we love spending time with people even more. We have shown interest in other dogs and enjoy our time during play groups! We know that two dogs can be a handful, but we promise to make it worth it! We have lived in a home previously with children and have done well with them.
