My story

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

Butters was found last year outside of Madison, not wearing any ID tags, nor had he been microchipped. He was turned into the DCHS but no one ever called or came to claim him 😔
He was soon turned over to KTHR from not doing well in the shelter environment. Since then
Butters has been being fostered in Deforest and shares a home 3 other small dogs as well as 3 cats. He loves to be the center of attention, which can cause some friction between him and the other dogs, therefore he
would probably do best in a household being the only dog, or possibly one other that doesn’t mind sharing. He does like to occasionally chase the cats and can get territorial with them as well. Did I mention he can be an attention hog? 😁it took a long time for Butters to trust everyone in the household but he has definitely come a long way and has gotten much better with strangers too. He’s spent some time at doggy daycare which has been beneficial as well.
Once trust is established he will absolutely become your very best friend and sidekick. He is an excellent snuggler and will want to be close to you at all times.
We have struggled with potty training/marking in the house, however I think a lot of it has to do with him wanting to establish dominance over my other male dog. I believe once in a different/new environment this can be corrected.
