Story
(Russell Rescue program name Sargent/Sarge)Meet your new best friend, Sgt. Peanut Butter aka Butters! This dachshund/terrier mix is about 16 lbs and approximately 2-3 years old. He loves burrowing down in blankets, snuggling with you, running laps in the yard/playing chase with the other dogs, and having a nice treat, chew or bone. He has some scarring on his head/back from a burn incident in his previous life, but it doesn’t seem to bother him at all. He seems to be a natural protector for those he loves, and is wary of men in particular but warms up in time. Great with kids, good with other dogs in general but will stand his ground if challenged by them. Probably not good with cats. He seems eager to please and is easy to love.Let’s find him his forever home!Sargent, aka Sgt Peanut Butter, would love to cuddle with you under a blanket on cold snow days like today. He does have some energy and loves to play, run outside, and chew on his toys, but when play time is over he’s ready to burrow under a blanket. He’s good with kids and other dogs; no experience with cats. In general, he seems to take more time to warm up to men, but he does get there. He just needs to build a little trust, and once you’re “in” he is protective of his people. All the movie stars are tall, dark and handsome. Sargent is no exception. He will be the new star i. Your life. He already is the star of his play group. Just the right size to go first class on his private plane, and only needs you as chauffeur to premier night of his latest movie. let us know when you are ready to sign the doted line!
