Meet BUTTERS
The following information was provided by the previous owner: Butters is a friendly 8 year old Malti-Poo. She enjoys car rides, her kennel, and chew toys. Butters has experience with groomers and she is well behaved for grooming and baths and for handling in general, and has never been nippy during grooming. Butters will do better in a quiet home, as she is probably more of a `one person` dog. She has shown no preference for women over men but does respond better to soft voices. Butters has been withdrawn with another animal around that wanted to play with her. She became very fearful and nervous. She is mostly a quiet, independent dog. Butters does know how to sit, lay down, crawl, and stand. She doesn''t care for being picked up or put down and is skittish around some people. Butters has also had a difficult time learning to be house trained. She will need a home dedicated to giving her a structured environment that will help make her a treasured house companion.
