My story

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

Are you looking for a sweet new puppy to add to your family? Let me introduce you to Butterball!

~ Looking for an active home to call their own
~ They are looking for a family with a lot of love, patience and time
~ They will need to be signed up for training prior to going into their fur-ever home to ensure they become the best version of themselves

Regularly Exhibited Behaviours Noticed:
- High Energy
- Under-Socialized
- Jumpy / Mouthy
- Nervous / Shy
- Little to no training

Explanation of Behaviours:
- Young puppy that is high energy and needs plenty of attention, training, exercise and enrichment daily.
- Will need to be worked and trained with to improve difficult behaviours such as mouthing and jumping.
- A puppy that can be nervous and shy of new people and environments and will need their new family that will be patient and go slow with them.
- They will need to be socialized a lot in a proper and safe way to help them be set up for success throughout their whole life ahead of them. Puppies need plenty of socialization but this should be done properly. Do not force them into situations but instead encourage them to have a positive experience with new things. Speak further with your trainer to ensure they are being socialized in all the right ways!

This dog would benefit from:
- An active home
- Lots of training
- Lots of time and attention
- Lots of socialization

Training needs/behaviours that need to be worked with for this dog:
- Basic training
- Basic manners - Jumping up and mouthing
- Socialization - including working on nervousness in new environments and situations

**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
