My story

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

Butterscotch asked me to post to sign saying: WANTED ... A loving family that will love me unconditionally. In return, I will be loyal and love you unconditionally. Butterscotch is a two-year-old 40 pound mostly Australian Pinscher mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 9/9 brought in by one of our officers. She has a curly tail with a white tip that never stops wagging. It's because she's a happy girl. She looks like she's been well taken care of. When she was at the other end of the yard and I called her, she came running. She occasionally jumps on you but gets down when you ask her to. For the most part she stayed close wanting human interaction. She seeks attention. When I asked her to sit, she started out in a sitting position, but then would lay down. She did this every time. Sometimes she rolled over for a belly rub. Of course I obliged. She's easy-going, friendly, alert (looking out the gate), frisky, lively, and very sweet. She walks OK on a leash. She wasn't particularly interested in meeting other dogs. She was more interested in interacting with me. And in order to get the benefit of all the love she has stored up for you she will need to be an inside dog where she can share family time.
