My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If pure joy had four legs and a tail, it would absolutely be Butter. We’re pretty sure his brain runs on “Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows” 24/7 — and honestly, it’s part of his charm. Butter is the definition of a happy-go-lucky dog. A little silly, a little clueless and 100% the kind of pup who wakes up every day believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Butter didn’t grow up in the best circumstances, but you would never know it by the way he acts now. Since joining DDBBR at the beginning of the year, he has been nothing but a warm, golden Buttery light beaming at the chance to live free from the chain he use to be tethered to.

Despite his cheerful spirit, Butter has only ever lived outdoors or in boarding — he’s never had a true family of his own. And he deserves that chance more than anything. The silver lining is that boarding has allowed us to really get to know him, and we can happily share that Butter enjoys the company of most other dogs! He’s still polishing up some of his social skills (we lovingly call him a “sweet himbo” around here), so a meet and greet with resident dogs is a must.

Whoever opens their home to Butter won’t just be giving a dog a chance — they’ll be changing his entire world. And you won’t be doing it alone: DDBBR will support you 100%, including training right off the bat to set you up for success.

If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, sunshine-filled companion who will make you smile every single day… Butter is your boy.

More about this rescue

Dogs Deserve Better is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained or penned dog and bringing our best friend into the home and family.

Our mission is to provide a better life for abused, neglected and abandoned canines; especially those which are chained or penned without human companionship. We strive to accomplish this through advocating for humane legislation; promoting spay and neuter; educating communities on animal welfare; and rescuing and finding loving inside homes for canines.
