Butters' current caretakers say:

Butters is a very handsome, lovable and a friendly dog. He is happy and enjoys human attention and affection. Butters is currently living at an adult foster home with other dogs but no kids. He walks great on a leash and enjoys his daily walks and play time. A home with a fenced-yard is needed and people familiar with the breed are best.

Boots, black mouth cur and pit bull terrier mix

Boots is a female black mouth cur and pit bull terrier mix staying at Rebel Dogs Detroit.

Boots is happy to keep company with cats. Good news: She is already house-trained, spayed and she has all her shots.

Notes from Boots' caretakers:

Boots prefers cats and humans. She is a little timid and we think she may enjoy dog company soon enough. She also is not a chewer and very potty-trained. Boots does not bark back when barked at and lounges with you outdoors. Boots can live with calmer, older children. She loves squeaking toys but does not know what to do with them yet.
