• “Butter is a 11 month old Beagle mix. She currently resides in Oneida with her new mom. She is the most loyal,protective, sweetest girl in the world. She has a knack for telling people's character that has proven to be extremely accurate. She loves to run, learn new tricks, and SNIFF everything. Her main goal in life is to catch one of those pesky squirrels.“

• “Butter is tiny but long at the same time. He loves rubs and kisses. He wishes everyone would rub and kiss him all day. He’s so adorable and sweet. He’s a true ankle biter though. He barks so loud at everything. He also likes to stand up to the other dogs, and he shows them that he is nothing to be played with. He’s so adorable“

  — Nicole M.

• “I’m nutty, feisty, and FULL OF ENERGY. I’m a baby. I was rescued at Lowe’s right after hurricane Milton. My leg was broken but these people decorated the bad leg and now I can jump really high and run really fast. You’d never know it was broke! They also just stole my balls… not the toys, I just woke up and I’m less of a man… you wouldn’t be able to convince me of that though“

  — November G.

• “I’m Butter the Rottweiler, and I like to be in charge around here. My mom says I’m a pet, so I’m supposed to let her pet me, but I see myself more as a to-be-admired kind of girl. I love my mom, but I’m definitely a daddy’s girl (don’t tell her). One of my favorite things to do—besides counter-surfing—is exploring and hiking in all sorts of new places. My mom says I was a mountain goat in a past life because I love to climb everything. The tougher the terrain, the better! But I’m at my happiest when I have a job to do. When I’m not busy figuring out how to get extra treats from my hoomans, I love working on scent detection and searching for hidden items. I NEVER give up! Once, it took me over 30 minutes to find a toy my mom had hidden, but I found it all on my own, and I was so proud of myself.“

  — Sarah k.

• “Butter is a Beagle/ dachshund mix. She is a little over 1 years old and has no greater aspiration in life than to catch her very own squirrel. She is a hunter through and through but has yet to get her target as her excitement is too much and they run away. She is beyond loyal to her mommy who took her in from her previous owner who wasn't able to provide the life she deserves. Her mommy isn't sure most days she is doing any better as this girl has the energy of a super dog. Butter is very intelligent, as stated loyal to those she loves, playful and curious. Be ware if she doesnt like you though, she is fierce and has a small population of oneida acting their best when they see her. She just wants her squirrel, her mommy and to run and play, sniff and search until it's time to snuggle up for the night. Butter is small but this girl will go places in life.“

  — Kristin K.

• “Hi. I'm Butter. I'm a good girl but have a few 'quirks'. I LOVE MY MOMMY...maybe a little too much...maybe a lot too much! I have to follow her everywhere and she must be protected AT. ALL. TIMES. FROM. ALL THINGS!! This includes other dogs, other people, and even my cat sister (but this is mostly just during meal times). I love kids and I don't understand why they don't like me when I bark at them. I'm just YELLING why I like them so much. I usually like people under 4' and over 85 yo, but most everyone else has to get on my level and then I'll like them. Treatos help with this process but they have to be special treatos because wheat and processed chicken make me itch all over. I think fireworks and thunderstoms should be illegal. They are an abonination against animal kind and should be eliminated forever! I had 2 doggie friends when I was little but now a-days I'm pretty afraid of other doggos. I wag my tail when I see other doggos at the dog park and I drag my mom toward the fence but as soon as they see me and come toward me, I've decided I need to be loud, noisy, and ferocious so they stay away. And don't even get me started on girl doggos...I.DON'T.LIKE.THEM.AT.ALL!! And now to think about it, I was recently attacked by a dastardly dude, so I'm not too hip on the boys either! So, those are my highlights...I'm a hot mess but my Mom and Dad and other Mommy/human Sister love me and try their best to help me deal with all the things. I've heard them say 'therapy' is in my future...is that fun??“
