My story

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

Butch is fabulous - there's no other word for him! He is the literal definition of a couch potato. He is absolutely happiest cuddling with you on the couch, or - if that's not possible - just snoozing nearby. He's the gentlest soul - he really just wants to be near you. If you work from home, he will spend the day intermittently napping and staring at you adoringly. He will also let you put ridiculous hats on him. :-) Butch is housebroken and knows "sit" (we're working on "stay"). He's not high energy, and not into lots of exercise - a few short jaunts around the block suit him just fine. He walks perfectly on a leash. No jumping, no chewing on furniture. Loud, sudden noises do tend to startle him, so Butch would do best in a quieter home, but he seems to love all people. He hasn't been cat-tested, but he's had good dog meets. He really just wants to be your bestie.
