About Butters

Butters is a clever, kind-hearted terrier/basset hound mix with a wire coat, estimated to be born in September 2022. Weighing about 40 pounds, he’s got a goofy spirit and often wins people over once he warms up. Initially shy, Butters quickly bonds and becomes loyal and affectionate. He enjoys romping around in the yard, playing with dog friends, and sticking close to his people. In his foster home he’s learned not to jump on people or grab hands, but he still needs a committed adopter willing to provide steady training and reinforce boundaries. Butters has a knack for collecting household objects—anything from towels to cans—so he requires supervision. He isn’t cat friendly and needs to be the only pet in a cat-free home. Butters does best with adults or teens, not homes with young children, due to his size and energetic nature. He manages well in a crate and is quiet when kenneled. He has distinctive front leg anatomy reminiscent of a basset/dachshund, with one leg unusually twisted. While it doesn’t slow him down, he might need moderation to prevent discomfort; hiking or running-adventure lifestyles likely aren’t the right fit without special accommodations. A securely fenced yard (4+ feet), a sturdy, non-wire crate, and a location in Western Washington or possibly Oregon are required for adoption—it’s best if you already have experience with energetic, determined dogs. Butters is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. All meetings take place in Poulsbo, WA. Ready to give this funny, loyal guy his best life? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
