✨ Meet Butterball, the delightful 2.5-year-old shepherd mix who's ready to steal your heart! 🎉 This charming pup had a rough start, having been left outside with little food, water, or shelter alongside seven other dogs. 😢 Can you imagine? He’s never known the warmth of a loving home or the gentle hands that truly care for him. But guess what? He’s ready to experience all of that love and more! 🥰 Butterball has had to survive in tough conditions, leading him to develop quite the perseverance. 🥊 Now, he’s learned to resource guard his food, which makes him a bit selective about sharing with other dogs. While he’s making strides towards better habits, it’s wise to think of him as needing a fabulous forever home where he can thrive—preferably as the superstar in an only dog household, or with someone who understands how to feed dogs separately. 🐶💖 A meet and greet is a must for any potential canine housemates, but don’t fret! Once you take Butterball for a stroll, you'll see just how happy and lovable this guy truly is! 🐕✨ He adores snuggling with people and has a spirit that just lights up when he’s around humans. Imagine the joy of giving this sweet soul his much-deserved loving family! Oh, and don’t let the opportunity slip by—check in and *apply through the Buddy App* for a chance to welcome Butterball into your life! 🏡💞 And remember, you can visit the shelter in Pierceton, IN, at 1048 S 325 E to meet Butterball in person—no appointments necessary! If you have questions, applying to adopt through the Buddy App will let you find your way to this lovable companion!
