Our pet of the week this week is Mookie!

Mookie is pretty much the perfect dog. He is a silly-looking creature, like if you mixed a basset hound with a bulldog, but it suits him. He’s got a big smile, stubby little legs, and a heart of gold.  

Mookie is approximately 3 years old, and he is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. He was recently transferred to us from a high-volume shelter in South Carolina. Despite the huge changes to his life, he is just the nicest dog in the world. All he wants is kisses and cuddles and belly rubs. He’s a great walker on his leash. The shelter that transferred him to us did say that he likes playing with other dogs, but he is untested with cats thus far. 

He’s had a long road to getting to us, and is ready to be spoiled and loved forever.

Mookie is available for adoption through the Burlington Humane Society. If you fall in love and want to adopt one of the pets featured, go to the Adopt a Cat or Kitten or the Adopt a Dog or Puppy page on their website for more information on how to proceed.
