About Burton

It's with a heavy heart that we need to find a new home for our beloved dog, Burton. We are hoping to find him a wonderful person or family (who is child free) who can give him the attention, activity and the life he deserves.

Reason for Rehoming: We are seeking a new home for Burton because our current environment with a young toddler is not a safe or suitable match for him. He experiences significant anxiety around the unpredictability of young children, and he also exhibits resource guarding, particularly over his food. Sadly, this led to an incident where he bit our toddler when approached while eating. For everyone's safety and Burton's well-being, he requires an adult-only home where his food and space can be managed safely, ideally with experienced owners who understand resource guarding and can provide a calm, predictable environment.
