Butters

My story

Meet Mr. Butters!! This beautiful standard Australian Shepherd is a 2023 edition of a deep red tri. Butters is a curious dog, that can be anxious at times. He loves long walks, especially if he can be off leash on secure walking trails in the woods. He wants to meet and interact with everyone he meets. His excitement can be overzealous at times upon first meeting but he calms down quickly. He likes to play ball, and sometimes he likes to play keep away. He loves tug of war, bobble treat toy, and bones. He is ticklish with his feet, and doesn't like to stress on his hair styles, but doesn't mind a good style every now and then. He loves his cuddles, head scritches, and any left excess attention. Butters will nose the door or his harness when he is ready to go outside. He would prefer to be with someone and share all their time, rather than be alone. He is crate and kennel trained and often finds this as a safe place. but if left in there too long he will protest that he is missing out on some sort of fun. Butters is an overall life of the party kind of guy, loves to run, play, please, and be a good boy. Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted.

Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only. Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Butters, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
