About Butter

Butter is a laid-back, extra-large Labrador Retriever with a mellow charm and gentle soul. He isn’t one for wild fetch games; he’d rather sprawl beside you collecting bottomless butt scratches. Butter enjoys the occasional stuffy toy and leisurely walks, already knows "sit," "catch," and "here," and has a knack for making ordinary days feel cozy. He weighs around 120 pounds and is working toward a healthier lifestyle, so his adopter should be ready to help him with portioned meals and gentle exercise. Butter gets along well with other dogs and, though not currently cat-tested, has lived with a cat before and handled it well. He’s just smooth, a little soft around the edges, and promises to bring warmth and good vibes to any home willing to help him stay on track. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
