Meet Butch

Location: VA Butch is deaf. Hi, I’m Butch but my foster mom has been trying on Whiskey lately cause she says I look like a whiskey barrel lol ? I’m just a lovebug lookin’ for my forever snuggle buddy. Walks? I’m always ready—clip that leash and I’m there with a happy tail wag! But let’s be real… what I really live for is cuddling. I mean, can you blame me? I’ve got a lot of love to give!  I’m super motivated by food and attention (treats + belly rubs = best day ever). I might get a little too attached—if that's even a thing—but it’s just 'cause I think you're the absolute best.  Crates? Eh, not my favorite. I’ll admit I grumble a bit, but give me less than 20 minutes and I’ll chill out. Don’t worry though—I’m not destructive. I’m just a soft-hearted pup who prefers being close to his people. Can’t wait to meet you. Now over to the hooman who is taking care of me until you pick me up... Butch foster mom here- if you are looking for a loyal, loving sidekick with all the charm and none of the chaos? Meet Butch, a rare gem of an Australian Cattle Dog with a calm and affectionate nature that’ll steal your heart. Age: 1–2 Years Gender: Male  Weight: 39 lbs Neutered: Yes Location: Woodbridge, VA Butch may be part of a high-energy breed, but he’s got the soul of a chill couch buddy. He's incredibly people-friendly, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and ready to go wherever life takes you—restaurants, hiking trails, backyard BBQs, or a lazy day on the couch. He’s your go-anywhere, do-anything best bud. Why You’ll Love Butch: Sweet and affectionate—he LOVES his people Calm and well-mannered in public and at home Gets along with dogs and cats Knows “sit” and “down” (and flips on his back for belly rubs during “down”—adorable!) Currently learning “stay” like the smart boy he is Crate trained and housebroken Light on his paws at just 39 pounds Butch is the total package: loving, loyal, and laid-back, with just the right touch of goofiness. If you’re looking for a dog who’s down for adventure but also happy just hanging out—Butch is your guy. Please contact [email protected].
