Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, October 19th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $650 Butternut is a 5 month old Spaniel-Terrier-ish type who is ready to squash his way into your lap for nonstop cuddles! Butternut was rescued from the shelter with a few of his furry friends. We don’t know how a puppy as handsome as him landed behind bars, but we knew we had to give him a second chance. We scooped him up and away we went! Butternut currently weighs 6 pounds and we expect him to max out around 10 pounds as an adult. If you’re looking for a pint-sized pal, adopt Butternut! Butternut is a total lovebug once he knows you and he will be looking for his human to shower in love and puppy kisses. He is a little shadow and expertly weaves his way around his foster mom as she goes about her day. Once Butternut got comfortable in his foster home, he totally blossomed and showed us how amazing he is. Butternut finds his confidence with another dog and is a great companion to the resident dog. You get to see a whole different dog when he is he has a canine companion to boost his confidence. He would love a furry friend in his forever home to spend his days with! Butternut is the kind of dog who is both playful and looking for his snuggles. If you sprinkle his day with both, he’s pleased as punch! He has the softest fur and he acts like a little baby when he is ready for cuddles. If you let him sit on your lap he will snooze with his little tongue adorably peeking out of his mouth. Butternut has an irresistible set of puppy dog eyes and is ready to melt hearts wherever he goes. Bring home this fall flavor today! Butternut wakes up between 7-8 AM and heads out for a morning potty session. He spends some time romping around the yard as he gets his zoomies out. He has his breakfast around 7 AM and then hangs out with his foster brother as they play around the house and yard. He goes out in the yard every few hours for a potty and play break. In the afternoon, he loves to lounge on his foster mom’s lap as she gets some work done. Once the workday ends, Butternut and his foster brother have some more playtime in the yard. He loves his toys and his tennis balls for fetch! Dinner is served at 6 PM and evenings are spent playing until he tires himself out. He goes out for one last potty at 11 PM and then he heads to his crate for bed. Butternut adores his canine foster sibling and would thrive in a home with a resident confident dog. Since he is such a petite dude, he’d do better in a home with slightly older kids. Butternut is getting used to the leash and responds well to positive encouragement! He would love a home looking for a road warrior buddy. He just wants to do everything with you and make a lifetime of happy memories. We can’t wait to see Butternut blossom once he meets you and joins your family! Butternut just needs a home with another dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 6.October 16, 2024, 9:10 am
