Your Pet's Story or Bio
Kurt was adopted and brought back multiple times and was the only dog at the shelter at one point who wasn't adopted. At the time we met, I didn't know that I was also the one needing to be "rescued". Ours was an instant bond and I promised Kurt that I would love him no matter what. It was a rough start, but we both knew that eventually it would work out. Since adoption, we have been working to overcome Kurt's anxiety and noise fear through behavior modification. Today, Kurt is thriving in his new environment. He loves couches, snuggles, chasing squirrels, roast beef, and the dog park.
