Burt is around 8 years old and lived the majority of his life outside on a farm. He is currently living large and being spoiled by one of the amazing Rescue Ranch foster families, but is waiting for his forever family.

Burt’s has a couple foster siblings – another dog and a cat and does very well with both of them. Burt’s foster mom reports, “All the animals act like he’s lived here his whole life. He’s quiet as a mouse and doesn’t appear to have a mean bone in his body. Not a single grumble or growl so far.”

Burt has a substantial perianal hernia. However, the vets are NOT recommending any surgery. It’s not painful, is reduce-able, and is not impacting his ability to defecate normally. Other than cosmetic improvement there’s not much reason do it. It’s not impacting his life at all, its just funny to look at.


Even though Burt has lived the life of an outside dog, he is doing great in his foster home. He is learning to potty outside and has even started to stand by door when he wanted out. He is such a sweet boy.
