Meet this week's Hockey and Hounds pup, Burger. This guy was surrendered to the PSPCA almost two years ago. He was a tough dog when he first got here, but the PSPCA team worked with him so much and now he is the amazingly friendly, happy dog we always knew he should be. He LOVES other dogs and is in our playgroup, and is so super goofy. He doesn't know much (no sit, or other commands), but it doesn't matter, he's just the best.
