Because of this, she is a rough player and will need any resident dogs to match her high energy level and play style. Home Requirements & HealthTo ensure Zena stays safe and happy, her forever home will need to check a few specific boxes: Secure Fence Required: Because of her athletic nature and smart herding instincts, a secure, physical fence is required to keep her safe during outdoor playtime. Other Pets: If there are other dogs in the home, they should be high-energy and comfortable with herding-style play. Health: Zena is fully vetted, spayed, and up-to-date (UTD) on all of her vaccines.

Story
Meet Butters, a sweet, gentle one-year-old terrier mix who is ready to find a patient forever home where he can truly bloom! Butters recently made a big journey all the way from Missouri to his foster home in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Before coming into rescue, Butters lived in a yard with a very large group of dogs and had very little experience with the human world. Because of his past, he can be quite shy at first, but his resilient little heart is slowly coming out of his shell every single day. This small boy does best with calm, slow, and patient hands. Once he knows he is safe, his favorite place in the entire world is right in your lap—in fact, he would happily sit there all day long soaking up your warmth and love. Because he spent his whole life around other canines, Butters would do best in a home with at least one other resident dog. He relies heavily on his furry friends to show him the ropes, copy their confidence, and learn how to navigate all of his new social cues. Butters' Quick Stats: • Breed: Terrier Mix • Age: Approximately 1 year old • Location: Fostered in Waukesha, WI (originally from Missouri) • Ideal Home: Needs a patient environment with another confident dog to guide him Butters is a quiet, tender soul who just needs a little time, love, and a furry sibling to help him realize how wonderful life as a cherished family pet can be. https://hoovesheart.com/
