Butters is low-maintenance, wildly affectionate, and equal parts playful and mellow. While Butters was in a shelter, she suffered serious injuries from a dog attack. She has come a long way since then but will be happiest as the only pet in the home. Butters is eager to share her golden years with a special someone who will love her to the moon and back. Had a bad day at work? Butters will greet you with full-body wiggles when you open the door. Apply today to give Butters her happily ever after. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in adopting or fostering? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Butters is low-maintenance, wildly affectionate, and equal parts playful and mellow. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
