Pit Bull Terrier and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Butters!
Butters is thriving in foster care and showing everyone just how special she is. After only a few days, she's relaxed, settled in, and happiest when she's close to her people. Her wish list is simple: belly rubs, walks, good food, and lots of love.
She adores kids and greets excitement with the cutest wiggly butt you've ever seen. At night, Butters sleeps soundly in her crate, and during the day she's a champion lounger-especially on the couch or by the front window, where she enjoys watching people and dogs pass by (and offering a polite warning bark when someone comes to the door).
Butters would thrive in a home where someone works from home or can spend plenty of time with her. She's a loving, loyal companion who just wants to be near her person.
Come meet Butters and fall in love with your new best friend!
