My story

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

Butterscotch is a gorgeous girl who joined our Rescue a few months ago. She was found with her sister, Beulah as country strays in rural North Carolina..

Animal Control Officers corralled the girls and brought them to the overcrowded County Shelter, where they were about to be euthanized. Shelter workers worked frantically to get them transferred to our Rescue before their time was up.

Butterscotch navigated the rescue process with ease, and while she seems shy at first, she opens up easily once the human love starts flowing. She is extremely affectionate, and would make an outstanding family dog. Butterscotch loves people and could easily live happily with older kids. Her gentle, loving nature is on full display. She definitely wears her heart on her sleeve.

Butterscotch is a small dog at just 30 pounds. She is active, but does not have an over-the-top energy level. She requires a couple of leisurely, "smell the roses" daily walks, but then is content to rest or take a nap. She would do well in a family setting, or with a single, or retired folks. Butterscotch will be happy as long as she is loved.

Butterscotch loves other dogs and has become a superstar in our small dog playgroup. She easily could join a multi-dog home with other friendly dogs, but we have not had her around cats. She is available solo, or with her sister Beulah, to anyone interested in a well matched pair.

Butterscotch is a small Hound mix, perhaps Redbone Coonhound and a smidge of Beagle to explain the small stature. As a scent Hound, her instincts are a mixed bag of gun dog attributes. Her ideal adopter would be an active single or couple, who can include her on hikes, runs, or walks, camping, or any kind of outdoors activity that will challenge mind and body.

Butterscotch has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during her transition to a new home. She has been spayed, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings.
