BUTTERSCOTCH NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Butterscotch      Best Guess for Breed:   Boxer/Bulldog Mix      Best Guess for Age:    5 years as of Mar 2026       SEX:    Male   Approximate Weight:    36 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs!  We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   Butterscotch is Looking For:   A family who appreciates a handsome, serious‑faced gentleman with a soft heart underneath. I’m a 5‑year‑old Boxer/Bulldog mix who may look stoic at first, but I’m really a sweet, loyal companion who loves calm walks, cozy naps, and being close to my people. If you want a steady, affectionate dog with a noble look and an even sweeter soul, I’m ready to go home with you.   What My Foster Says About Me:   Butterscotch is such a character!  He has learned "sit" and is working on "stay". He lives for playtime with my dog, and he loves to go on walks. Heartworm information: Butterscotch is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Butterscotch has completed this activity restriction period.   Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:    The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !
