Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Butters is a flat coated retriever, estimated age is about 5 - 6 years. He weighs 28 lbs but needs to put on some weight. He has a shiny black coat and does not seem to shed much. He was given that name by his rescuer because she said he is "as sweet as Butter".
He has a very gentle nature, soulful brown eyes and is very well behaved in the home. It is almost as if he needs to know that whatever he does it is ok and won't be scolded for it. He can use a doggy door, walks well on leash and is crate trained however, because he doesn't seem to get in trouble crating during the day is unnecessary. Butters is a great companion and family dog, and will over time become more interactive but he may not be as active as young children may want, but if you want a furry best friend - Butters will be that friend.
