Burke is a beautiful Blonde smooth coat Saluki that was rescued with her sister Reagan from an unfortunate neglect situation near Dallas, TX in the fall of 2017. 

 

Burke is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years young and weighs about 45lbs.  This girl has a very sweet personality but is shy when it comes to new people and new situations.  She relies on her sister Reagan to lead the way and assure her that everything is okay.  She has gotten much better with her confidence as she continues to learn what life is like as part of a family. 

 

She LOVES her toys as well as playing with her Saluki sister Reagan and her foster brother (7yr old dachshund mix) Ruger.  Burke has met Daisy (a friendly feline housemate) but is not allowed to interact at close range due to the instinct to "hunt" smaller animals. 

 

Burke would do well in a household that had medium/large confident dogs as she tends to play too hard sometimes and may injure a smaller dog.  She is such a joy to have around and loves to snuggle in her bed with her sister Reagan. 

 

She has learned that the kitchen is off limits and is currently learning how to ring bells hanging from the door to let you know that she needs to go potty (work in progress).  She has had very few accidents in the house (few and far between) and when she does it is usually right in front of the door.  She kennels without a problem when we are not home and at night as she cannot be trusted to be left alone without supervision.   She would do best if adopted with Reagan as they are very bonded and get anxiety if separated.
