About Butters

Butters is an incredibly sweet dog looking for a loving home. She recently arrived at Hinsdale from Chicago Animal Care and Control along with six other chihuahua mixes. Despite any hardships she faced in her earlier life, Butters is full of love and affection to share. This lovely senior lady thrives in a foster home, comfortably sharing space with both cats and a dog. She has some healed injuries that give her a bit of a lopsided gait, but it doesn’t slow her down. Butters can easily jump onto couches and beds and navigate stairs all on her own. With her gentle nature, she would fit perfectly into just about any family, including those with young children who understand that her playful days are past. Butters is happiest when she’s snuggled up next to you, preferably under a cozy blanket. She’s in search of a warm, loving environment that will ensure her golden years are the best they can be. If you're interested in meeting this delightful pup, she’s currently in a foster home. Contact (630) 323 - 5630 for more information!
