Salut, doggy lovers! I am hoping to rehome my 5-year-old beloved, darling dog, Cullen. Seeking preferably a home with another dog or someone who works from home and lives in Burlington. I have started traveling out of town more for work, and I’m already not able to give enough time and attention to Cullen. He is completely house trained, amazing with other dogs. Doesn’t bark at all except for a couple of minutes when someone comes into the home, and only if I am there. I walk him off-leash all the time and he loves long walks in the woods and fields. I would love to take him for walks and stay in his life as an auntie. I would also be available to take him when you are traveling! Cullen stays with a friend and their two dogs right now, often for a week at a time, but this is not sustainable, and they can’t take a third dog full-time.
