About Butterball

Butterball is currently in a shelter. He does not like to be outside or go for walks. He is a very scared boy but will walk outside with another dog. He has been dog friendly with us and has been adopted and returned twice due to his fearful nature. On his most recent return he did bite the hand of the adopter while they were restraining him to put a harness on to take him for a walk. Both homes were dog free and did not have a fenced yard. Due to our shelter not having strict adoption requirements the shelter worries that he may end up returned again for his fearful nature. They have been better screening potential adopters this time around but adoptions have been moving a slowly. Butterball is also heartworm positive. HSTC will schedule and provide the heartworm injections when the time comes. You'd just have to get him here. we are looking for a dog savvy person to work with Butterball out of the shelter in a home where he can blossom. Any of these incidents can happen when folk are not dog savvy and cognizant of dog behavior. So we are seeking a foster that can nurture and help this dog commit to boundaries and a routine that will instill confidence and positive outcome. Could that be you?? He is still in the shelter and we cannot pull him until we get a commitment. Recommend someone on the east coast please. Thank you!
