NUTTER BUTTER - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

I am not currently at the shelter because I'm growing big and strong in a foster home! *Staff thinks I will be ready by mid August*. Nutter Butter is the ultimate cuddle bug! By far the neediest of the bunch, he would happily spend the entire day curled up in your lap and soaking up all the love he can get. While he adores people more than anything, don't let his snuggly side fool you—when it's time to play, he's confident, fearless, and always ready to keep up with his brothers. Nutter Butter is incredibly sweet and isn't shy about letting you know when he wants attention. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who will shower you with affection and keep you company wherever you go, Nutter Butter is your perfect match. You can sign up to pre-adopt me by placing a $50 choice hold. This is a non-refundable fee that does not go towards my adoption fee, but it does give you the first opportunity to adopt me. Shelter staff will contact you when I’m ready to go home with my new family! To place a choice hold, you can either come into the shelter or call us at 719-302-8707; you may wait to speak with a customer service representative or leave a voicemail. Choice holds are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and only one choice hold can be placed per animal. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to visit while I’m in the foster home as it’s a lot of stress on me to be transported back and forth to the shelter for visits, which makes me more susceptible to getting sick. I want to be healthy for our new life together!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
