Butch (aka Buzz Lightyear)

Meet Butch – Your Ride-or-Die Companion<br/><br/><br/><br/>Butch is a stunning German Shepherd with movie-star good looks and a heart full of loyalty. This big, smart guy didn’t get the start he deserved—raised alongside his littermate by well-meaning adopters who quickly found themselves overwhelmed by two strong, high-energy pups. Without the structure and training a young shepherd needs, Butch found himself getting into mischief: escaping the yard, butting heads with other dogs, and learning some habits that didn’t exactly earn him neighborhood MVP.<br/><br/><br/><br/>But here’s the good news: since arriving at Hood River Adopt-A-Dog, Butch has become a staff and volunteer favorite. He’s affectionate, goofy, and so ready for a person who sees past his bumpy past and into his brilliant potential. Butch is dog-reactive, a result of early socialization gaps, so he’s looking for a home where he can be your one and only—a loyal partner on adventures, hikes, or just hanging out at home. He’d thrive on some space to roam (think: country setting or large yard) and a person who’s ready to build trust and structure with him.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Butch doesn’t want to be just another dog. He wants to be your dog. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, a smart companion, and a total heartthrob of a shepherd, Butch is waiting to meet you.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Age: ~2 years<br/><br/>Breed: German Shepherd<br/><br/>Ideal home: Adult-only, dog-free, room to roam, training-minded<br/><br/>Bonus: Knows how to pose for photos like he belongs in a cologne ad<br/>Butch would love to find his forever home and is ready to give you all the love in gratitude. <br/><br/>After submitting the application below, someone will contact you to set up a meet and greet appointment. Please be patient as we are short staffed but very eager to get our pups meeting their potential future families!<br/><br/>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLeE8iTiwE2zdkYUMyHKNJ2_HioHVdrXp40_0FM6jL9m6bTw/viewform
