Butterfinger

DOB: 11/08/2025 Current Weight(as of 2/13/26): 4.4 Lbs.<br/>Adoption Fee: $500 includes 1 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness.<br/>Please only apply if you have deeply considered what it will take to welcome one of these pups into your home.<br/>Butterfinger is as sweet as his name implies!! This boy loves a good cuddle session, and hanging out with the family. He loves to be included in the action, and doesn't let his vision impairment stop him! After play time with his sister and foster momma, he is content to hang out and watch TV with the family. Sometimes we joke that he's part cat, when he curls up on one of our shoulders, or the back of couch. He loves squeaky toys and toys that 'talk,' he'll bark right back at them. He's a spunky lil guy, that happily greets us with lots of tail wags, each time he hears and smells us approaching. He deserves a loving family that will be patient and understanding as he adjusts to their home and goes through training. He is food and praise motivated, which will help with his training. He's a lovable little pup, waiting for a wonderful family to call his own.<br/><br/>Butterfinger and Kit Kat were recently diagnosed with congenital cataracts and were evaluated by Dr. Sisler at Eye Care for Animals. Currently they have 15%-35% vision. Because they are still young and their eyes are continuing to grow, the cataracts are progressing as well. Dr. Sisler has recommended re-evaluating them when they are a bit older to monitor any changes and determine the best next steps.<br/><br/>In the future, they may require medicated eye drops, and there is a possibility they could develop glaucoma, though this is not certain. When they are approximately one year old, both puppies are expected to be good candidates for cataract surgery. This procedure is typically very successful and can restore vision. The estimated cost of surgery ranges from $7,000–$7,500.<br/><br/>Several members of our group have had this surgery performed on their own dogs through Eye Care for Animals — including one over eight years ago — and all were successful, with their dogs retaining their eyesight. Based on this experience, we are hopeful about their long-term outlook.<br/><br/>Furry Kids will be giving special consideration to applicants who are prepared to move forward with treatment if recommended. To help support their future care, Furry Kids will contribute $2100 (approx. 30%) toward the cost of surgery if it is performed by Dr. Sisler at Eye Care for Animals.<br/>Puppies are NOT housebroken and should not be expected to wait more than 1 hour for each month of age to go out to potty. Please make sure that you have a “potty plan” in place if considering adoption.<br/>All of our puppies have been spay/neuter, wormed, microchipped, and given age appropriate vaccinations.
