Meet Butterfinger
Butterfinger is currently in a foster home in Vancouver, WA and is available for meet & greets.
Meet Butterfinger!
Butterfinger is a little over a year old at 15 months old. Our vets say he’s a Shepherd / Husky mix and he currently weighs 80 pounds. Butterfinger is fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and ready to find a family to call his own!
Butterfinger is dog friendly! He loves playing with dogs that he knows, but he does prefer slow introductions. He still has some puppy energy, so we’d say he has a moderate – high energy level. He currently lives in an apartment, but would LOVE a fully fenced in yard or an active family who will take him out on adventures. Although we mentioned puppy energy, he will also happily curl up for a nap after he’s had his exercise / play time.
Butterfinger has never met cats, so we’re not sure how he would react to them.
Butterfinger is kid friendly! While he doesn’t live with kids currently, he’s met kids at multiple rescue events and is always very gentle and sweet towards them.
Butterfinger walks great on a leash! He does get excited in new places and will pull to go smell. He is reactive on leash towards dogs that are coming towards us that we do not know.
Butterfinger is fully potty trained and does not have any accidents inside the home. Butterfinger is also crate trained. His foster mom allows him to free roam and he does really well with this too!
Here’s a small blurb about Butterfinger from his foster mom:
Butterfinger is such a sweet, loving, goofy boy! He’ll be your little shadow and is always down for an adventure. He LOVES the snow and playing outside. He’s incredibly smart and picks up training super quick! He knows: Sit, lay down, come, wait / stay, touch, under (he’ll go under your legs while you sit), middle (he’ll go between your legs), around (he’ll go around your legs), heel, place and free. The only “quirk” Butterfinger has is his reactivity. It’s mostly when people he doesn’t know are walking directly towards us. He does like to jump up and give people hugs (which we’re working on). He would make for a great adventure or running buddy and I think a lot of these behaviors could be corrected in his forever home if he's given proper exercise. Butterfinger enjoys car rides and likes sticking his head out the window or he’ll just lay down in the backseat. Butterfinger is such a sweet & goofy boy! You know he’s having a good time when his tongue flops out to the side of his mouth! He loves going on adventures and absolutely loves the snow! He enjoys going anywhere he can run around and explore and belly rubs are his absolute favorite!!
