Butter is a handsome gentleman who was rescued from a shelter in AL. He's a gentle giant who is estimated to be about 11 months old and we think he is a Bernese Mountain Dog/German Shepherd mix. He's a big boy weighing in at around 70 lbs and, with his long hair, he'll need a family committed to giving him regular grooming. He walks well on leash and waits to potty outside at the shelter, so we think he is likely potty trained, although we always expect a few accidents when in a new home. He's good with dogs and was very respectful of the cat during his cat test so we believe he will do fine with cats given slow and proper introductions. He's a sweet boy who just wants to be loved and part of a family. He's currently in AL but we hope to bring him to Maine in mid-May. If you think you might be interested in adopting Butter or just want to get pre-approved to adopt through us, please fill out an application on our website. Approvals are valid for one year and you will not have the waiting period of an application if you see a dog that you like! Approved adopters are placed on our email list for each transport and receive our Google slides that we send to all pre-approved adopters before posting on Petfinder and our social media and are eligible to attend our meet and greet events.
