My story

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

Animal Information: Butters is a 2-year-old, 10lb chihuahua mix that is friendly with other dogs and people. He wound up at risk in an overcrowded shelter when he came in as a stray. We can't wait to get to know him and help him find a home in the PNW!

Foster Profile: Butters is a 10lb chihuahua mix, estimated to be around 2 years old, with a gentle and affectionate nature. He has adjusted beautifully to foster life and has excellent house manners, making him an easy companion to have around the home. 

He loves being cozy and bonds quickly with his people. After a little playtime, he's happiest settling in for snuggles. He enjoys going on short walks and walks great on leash with no pulling. He is fully potty-trained and reliably goes potty on his walks and does well with a consistent routine. He sleeps through the night and settles after just a few minutes. Butters is a quiet little guy and rarely barks for attention or at noises around the home. He enjoys being petted and is very comfortable being held.

Butters is curious and friendly around other dogs, though he can be slightly shy with big dogs at first due to his small size, so slow introductions for larger dogs are best. He has shown no signs of aggression toward adults, children, or strangers. He would do well with another dog, or as a solo companion.

Butters prefers being near his people and is still building confidence when left alone. His ideal home would be with someone who is around often and looking for a relaxed, affectionate companion. Butters is a loyal little shadow who simply wants to be close to his person and share a cozy, loving home. 

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
