My story

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

Burton is an incredibly playful and energetic pup who loves being outdoors! He enjoys running around and is always ready for a new adventure. While he still has some puppy energy, which can sometimes show in his excitement to jump up for attention, Burton is also super smart. He's quickly picked up on basic commands and is improving on the leash-only pulling when something really grabs his attention, like another animal. He's even done great jogging alongside me on the street!

Burton is nearly fully house-trained and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He's met many new friends on walks and had a blast playing with a neighbor's dog in the backyard, always staying playful and never aggressive. He's also been great with kids, although his excitement can sometimes lead to playful jumping and puppy nibbling, which is all easily trainable.

Overall, Burton is a sweet, fun-loving, and trainable pup who will make a fantastic companion! Apply for him today and we will get you in touch with his awesome foster!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
