Butchy

My story

*Rescue Placement Only* Butchy, our 4 yr old, 120-pound American Bulldog, is for Rescue Placement only. While at the shelter Butchy has been able to make many human buddies. He loves to romp in the play yard with his tennis balls, splash in our doggy-pool (warmer weather), investigate on our creek trail and enjoy all the different scents of our flower garden. He earns plenty of treats from all the tricks he’s learned. He also has found friends among his dog-walking buddies. Butchy was adopted as a puppy from a breeder, and lived with his family but there was an incident in the home where the family felt it was best to surrender him to the shelter. Butchy arrived to the shelter as a nervous 8-month-old puppy. He needed time to decompress so we could begin working with him. Butchy has shown the shelter staff and trainers he is eager to learn new things. He excelled in “how to trade”, among other tricks. Butchy’s ONLY option is to leave the shelter with an experienced rescue group that understands resource guarding & extra large breeds. Butchy will need a Board and Train facility so he can receive the much-needed continued behavior modification he deserves.
