“Burtie was hit by a car and unable to use his back legs when Animal Aware took him in. I was there volunteering and he put his head on my lap and I fell in love with him and adopted him. He survived cancer, paralysis, and a bad infection because he was such a strong spirit and had a lot of life left. He had a few really wonderful years where he learned to stand and walk and play (and yell in his Chewbacca voice) again. He got a custom wheelchair for cruising around, explored forests and beaches and parks, ate lots of treats, and had 2 adopted doggie brothers and a family who loved him so so dearly. He passed away peacefully on a farm in the Catskills.”
