About Burt

Burt: 7 year old, black/tan, neutered male, natural ears, docked tail, 13' 14.5 lbs. Shots -up-to-date, micro-chipped, rescued from hoarding situation. Burt has changed so much since coming to his foster home in November, 2018. He has been through so much. We will likely never know for sure exactly what horrible treatment he's received, but if you look closely at his photo's you can see that his skull isn't quite right, (fractured at some point maybe?) and Burk is a slow thinker. I have had to learn to give him just a couple of seconds longer than normal to respond. I've also learned that when I want to pet him, to allow him a few seconds to process that it is pet he's going to get not a hit. When he first arrived, I could not touch him with a broom, shovel, or rake or other object in my hands. He'd freak out and go into a defensive snapping mode. As long as he has time to process things, I can now pet him with the broom, shovel, and other objects in hand and he's fine. He will even allow me to pet him while he eats. It seems that all he needed was a little time to build trust again in his human and to be treated with a little respect and kindness.
