Burrito: Found tide up outside with a real feel temperature of 12 degrees Fahrenheit, Burrito was visibly shaking from the cold. He wasn’t lost. He wasn’t wandering. He was standing in a backyard, not being properly cared for. Attached to an oversized collar was a heavy chain no longer than five feet , ummm Helloo.. a violation of the City of Warren’s tethering ordinance. Two overturned buckets were nearby… both empty of food and water… filled instead with debris. No comfort. No warmth. No protection from the bitter cold. And yet… Fast forward to today, and you would never know the hardship this little man endured. Burrito is the wiggly, can’t take a photo cause he doesn’t stay stillis the happiest little guy. The moment you walk into his room, he pops up in his crate with that big smile and those shiny white teeth, tail going a mile a minute, just so eager to greet you. He’s a little guy — probably around 35–45 pounds — and we think he’s about 1–2 years old. The perfect size. Not too big, not too small. Just right. He has the cutest speckles on his fur — little markings here and there like someone sprinkled him with sweetness. He seems to do well around other dogs, has not been cat tested, and we feel he may be okay with respectful kiddos. He truly doesn’t have a care in the world now , he just wants love. Right now he’s in an overcrowded shelter , but he doesn’t belong here. After everything he’s been through, he deserves warmth. A couch. A family. A soft bed . Burrito survived the cold and the chain. Now he just needs someone to choose him.
