This small boy is PEANUT BUTTER! Or, as he is affectionately known around these parts - Butters! Butters is a one year old male Chihuahua mixed with a little of this and a little of that...okay, we don't really know, but mostly we just think of him as an oversized chihuahua and we are sticking with it. Weighing in at approximately 17 pounds, Butters is firmly and fully convinced that he actually weighs something closer to 100 pounds and that he could potentially take over the world...if you are lucky, maybe you can help him do it!
Butters is an active busy boy. He loves to be out walking and interacting with his folks. Initially, this kid sometimes has a 'tough guy' facade, but honestly, it doesn't last. Once you become a friend you are a friend for life, and this charming dude will make you so glad that you were one of the chosen! And when we say charming, WE MEAN IT. He can have a somewhat gruff exterior, but once he's your friend he is your friend for life! Since he was picked up as a stray, we don't know a ton about his background, but he's an open book so we learn more and more every single day.
Butters doesn't seem to be dog aggressive, but we could see him being a little bit of a scrapper if he felt it was necessary. For that reason we would only place him in a home with a female dog, and a meet and greet would absolutely be required. He could likely learn to live with cats, but they must be dog savvy and ready and able to help you make him understand that they aren't to be pushed around! We do believe that young children would be a lot for him, so we would like to see him placed in an adult home or one with older teenagers.
Butters is like a piece of candy with a hard outer shell - once you get past that shell it's all creamy caramel and sweetness with occasional flashes of sour (when he doesn't get necessarily what he thinks he should have hahahaha). In this way he is somewhat typically chihuahua and makes us think there is some sort of terrier lurking in the background. He is a tremendously smart lad with tons of love to give. He can be a once in a while lap dog but will enjoy a home where he can get out and about with his owner for walks and adventure. After all, at a year old he's basically a kid!
Butters is available for adoption at the shelter. If you are interested in him. please fill out the application located at the link below!
