Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Butter’s name perfectly describes her beautiful butter yellow coat, and her smooth personality. Butter is a goofy, snuggly, lovable puppy who is ready to be your companion for life. She is curious, playful, and intelligent and will be your sidekick on the couch or running around the yard. Butter loves a squeak toy, a fuzzy blanket, and a tennis ball – especially an orange one! Butter loves fetch in the yard a couple of times per day and at least one long neighborhood walk daily. With her love of fetch and her puppy energy, she would do best with a fenced yard to keep her safe.
When meeting new humans or new dogs, Butter is initially cautious but takes no time to warm up. She loves her people – big and small - and won’t want to be left alone for too long. Butter doesn’t love her crate at first but settles down in it after a few minutes and will sleep there through the night. If you need to crate her when you leave the house, some relaxing music will keep her calm. She does great in the car; she stays calm yet curious. Butter is house trained but prefers to be let out a few times a day to go outside – when she starts to pace the house, you’ll know to let her out.
Butter does well with her harness and her leash skills are getting better every day. She is food and toy motivated and is quickly learning her commands – sit, down, crate, up, and off (as in “OFF” the countertops silly Butter!). She’s always looking for a snack so you’ll want lids on your trash cans. She doesn’t love a bath, but she’ll tolerate one. She’s easy going in most situations – at the vet, in the yard, in a high-energy home – she stays gentle, friendly and loving. Butter is a sweet, wiggly ball of love and has years of fun and snuggles ahead of her!
