Hi Everyone My name is Butter Chicken (known as Joey by my fosterers). Obviously I am a very beautiful boy and will grow up to be a big boy. I am super-smart - my fosterers have already crate-trained me, taught me sit, wait, fetch, and most importantly, OFF although I sometimes forget when I am super excited to see you. I am also very close to being fully house trained using a doggy door but don't like going out in the rain unless you come with me. I also travel well in the car. I would suit a home with energetic people who like getting out for runs or long walks, a home without small children as I am very bouncy and sometimes forget my manners. I am also super snuggly and affectionate and love nothing more than being with my people wherever they go.
