Name: Butterscotch
Breed(s): Pit Bull mix
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
If you’re looking for that perfect companion or long walks on the beach or an up and coming dog sport star, look no further than Miss Butterscotch. She is a sweet, relatively low maintenance gal who would love to be the apple of her new forever family’s eyes.
Sweet and kind Butterscotch is a delightful little girl. She is relatively good on a leash but has some typical puppy-ish exuberance. She is very, very food
motivated and has a moderate toy drive. She would do well in a home that was willing to work with her and set her up for success.
Butterscotch can be a bit pushy with other girl dogs because she believes she needs to be the only woman in her human’s life. She would probably do best with a boyfriend or being totally spoiled as an only dog. She seems to interact well with the boys at the shelter currently.
If you’re interested in adopting Butterscotch, or any of her kennel mates, he is available for adoption through the Taylor Animal Shelter which is located at 25555 Northline Road, Taylor, Michigan. You can contact the shelter by phone at (734) 374-1354 or by clicking the link to the shelter above.
Name: Freckles
pretty decent start to the basics and would make a fabulous prospect for obedience, agility, weight pull or any other venue you may be interested in. He has the desire to please and an off switch when it’s time to relax and chill out at home. I really can’t say enough good things about him. Unsure of how he is with other dogs and kitties but proper introductions to both should definitely be on the top list of priorities no matter what!
Every year the month of October is hailed in as a month of awareness for one of the most misunderstood, mistreated and maligned breeds of dog in modern history – the pit bull. There are many who would wish to see this breed’s future annihilated and sent into extinction but there are even greater numbers of breed advocates and aficionados who work tirelessly against the opposing side in an effort to reverse breed specific legislation that is aimed to eventually destroy the breed that is affectionately called ‘America’s Dog’ by its followers.
are a few suggestions that may get your creative juices flowing that will not only help the breed but also the community with your positive actions:
Most importantly, no matter what activities you do this month, make sure you enjoy your dog(s) and be an advocate who acts professionally and politely without being too overzealous. It is, after all, a hard pill to swallow if one is proved wrong (and something I’ve personally learned from experience many times over!).
If you had asked me two weeks ago if I had planned to add a new dog to the pack in the very near future I probably would have laughed. I had plans, yes, but they were weeks, months and even years in the future. I wasn’t in the thought process that the future and new dog were only a short time away or in the circumstance in which they happened to happen in.
exam room. That final tightening of the love noose came when he laid his greying head on my shoulder and let out a deep, relaxed sigh. I knew that it was the beginning of the end. He had to come home. My…no, our home would and must be his.
Name: Lady
obedience or agility here!). She’s shown no interest in the currently available kitty, Boots, and is gentle with other dogs. There’ve not had any kids to introduce her to but if her temperament with everything else she’s met holds true, there are no doubts she will do fine with them as well. Lady could, in theory, go into just about any home and is seeking that forever home right now with a family who will love and cherish her for many years to come.
Name: Jewel
getting some good basic manners training from the volunteers at the shelter when she is out on the twice daily walks.
Name: Thor
an excellent running buddy or a sport prospect (especially for weight pull!) as he has energy in spades. He does need some brush up on his manners but with some work, he’d be as good as gold.
Name: Delilah
Name: Diego
incredibly gentle and very biddable when asked to do simple tasks and he picks up on cues and commands very easily. He is very food motivated and would do well in just about any home – especially if he could be a snuggle bug, which seems to be his main goal in life when he shoves his beautiful face into your hands for attention.
