About Burkley
Hello, I am Burkley. I recently came from a large seizure. At first I was nervous but it did not take long for me to warm up. I am a very well behaved guy. SCARS thinks at one point I had a good home. I have been good with other dogs, house trained, know some basic manners and walk great on a leash. I was very good when I went to the vet. SCARS does not know my age but guessing on the younger side, maybe 2-4 years old? I would do best in a quieter home since strangers make me nervous.
