My story

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

💙 Meet Butler!
Butler is a striking 1-year-old male Cattle Dog mix who came to us from a trusted partner rescue in Indiana. The first thing everyone notices? His piercing blue eyes—they’re absolutely stunning and full of personality.

🐾 Personality:
Smart, energetic, and attentive, Butler has all the classic Cattle Dog charm. He loves staying active, engaging his brain, and being part of whatever his people are doing. He’s affectionate, eager to learn, and always ready for an adventure.

👂 A Note About His Hearing:
Butler has a hearing impairment that we are still in the process of evaluating. His previous rescue believed he may be deaf, and while we’re learning more every day, what’s clear is that he doesn’t let it slow him down. He’s already showing how adaptable, clever, and resilient he is.

🏡 Ideal Home:
Butler will thrive with adopters who appreciate an intelligent, active dog and are open to learning how to communicate with a pup who may have limited or no hearing. Positive reinforcement, visual cues, and routine will help him shine. He’d love a home that offers exercise, enrichment, and plenty of patience as he continues to learn.

✨ Why You’ll Love Him:
Between his gorgeous eyes, loyal nature, and bright mind, Butler is a standout. His hearing difference only adds to his uniqueness—and his capacity to bond deeply with his people is remarkable. With the right family, Butler will be an unforgettable companion.
