Story
Please meet Butterball and read what his fosters have shared about him. 💛 Personality & Temperament Butterball is incredibly sweet and thrives on being close to his person. He’s happiest curled up in your lap or snuggled beside you at night—he’s a champion cuddler who sleeps quietly through the night. While he enjoys playtime, he’s not overly high-strung and is perfectly content relaxing and keeping you company. He has a naturally funny, quirky side and isn’t shy about showing it. His unique mannerisms and playful spirit make him an entertaining and lovable companion. 🧠 Trainability & Behavior Butterball is very smart and eager to please. He learned the “sit” command in just one day, and with consistency, he has the potential to learn so much more. He: • Comes when called • Is not destructive • Is not a runner/escape artist • Bonds deeply with his human He would benefit from: • A structured potty routine (currently uses belly bands due to marking) • Continued positive reinforcement training, especially on walks 🐕 Social Skills Butterball currently lives in a condo with four other dogs and gets along well with them. He can be reactive to other dogs on walks, but he responds well to positive reinforcement and does best when walked solo rather than in a group. When with a pack, he may try to take on a “leader” or “enforcer” role. With cats:
Butterball can coexist with cats, but it depends on the cat’s personality. He enjoys play-chasing (not aggressive), so a confident or patient cat would be the best match. With kids:
He has a gentle disposition and may do well in a home with respectful children. 🏡 Ideal Home Butterball would thrive in a home that can offer: • Consistent structure and routine • Continued positive reinforcement training • Plenty of affection and lap time • Patience as he works through minor habits like marking He doesn’t require a yard but would benefit from regular walks and guidance to build confidence and good leash manners. 🌟 Why Butterball? Butterball is a devoted, affectionate little companion who truly wants to be your best friend. His sweetness, intelligence, and hilarious personality make him a joy to have around. With a little structure and continued training, he’ll blossom into an absolutely exceptional companion. Please apply for Butterball if he sounds like a match for you.

Happy, social Chi pup!! Ready for love, learning and moving forward in life and into a loving home! Gordy got the most color, markings, he’s very cute and very sweet-natured! Currently about 4.5 pounds… likely to cap at 10 or so. Time, and consistency, training and heart, that’s a good start for a sweet, little puppy eager to feel safe, happy and engaged! Playtime and a lap, learning about house manners, walking on a leash, and getting lots of playtime and socialization- great pup, wonderful companion in the making. A 16 year commitment … please think hard about your life, time availability and resources before taking a puppy home. This pup will bring joy and happiness to almost any home!

Story
Her foster has the following to say about Aspen: In a litter of affectionate puppies, Aspen stands out as the most affectionate. She just has to tell you how much she loves you, and then tell you again five minutes later. She is the most likely to be following me around the garden. Born and raised with love in foster homes, she is friendly, clever, curious, adventurous, athletic, playful, and affectionate. Aspen is the fastest to come on command and is very treat motivated. She adores the resident terrier (while respecting his boundaries) and has spent time with a giant Bernese Mountain dog without fear. She's had a play yard with all kinds of objects and materials to climb and play with, and supervised free play in the garden, which has made her confident when going about the world. Aspen loves to run, wrestle, play with toys and cuddle. She shows no anxiety and easily shares her food and toys. Her nickname is Peaches for her peaches and cream coloring. She has low maintenance very short and sleek fur and is looking like she will be lean like her mom.
