Meet Miami! Originally from Southern California, this 3-year-old gal made her way to Chico after a good samaritan found out she was scheduled to be euthanized. That gentleman paid for transportation to his home here in Butte County but because his health declined he was no longer able to care for her and brought her to Butte Humane Society for a fresh new start. Miami’s enthusiasm for life is contagious! She adores belly rubs, lives for affectionate moments with her person, and when the mood strikes, she’ll break out into her daily dose of zoomies just to keep things exciting. She would thrive in a loving family setting but prefers to be the only pet in the home. After all, she wants all the snuggles and attention for herself! Here are just a few ways our staff would describe Miami: Affectionate, Loving, Hops of joy, Loves belly rubs, Only pet household, Potty trained, Playful, Snuggle Bug. Miami wants to trade emotional support with you as soon as possible! All animals adopted from Butte Humane Society are evaluated by a veterinarian, spayed or neutered, provided with vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and receive heartworm, flea/tick preventatives prior to adoption.

If I sound like the perfect fit for you please fill out an application at buttehumane.org today! Make an appointment to meet me at the Butte Humane Society in Chico, CA by calling (530) 343-7917, EXT 102.

Meet Ranger – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making!

Ranger is a 1-year-old pittie mix with a heart full of love and a future bursting with potential! This handsome guy just graduated from a 30-day professional training boot camp, and he’s ready to show off all the good boy skills he’s learned.

Ranger is a smart cookie and a total people-pleaser. He catches on quickly and loves having a job to do – especially if it comes with praise or treats! He’s got energy to spare and is happiest when playing with other dogs who enjoy a good, goofy, full-body wrestling match.

But don’t worry, Ranger isn’t all action. He also knows how to wind down and soak up the sun like a pro. Whether it’s romping in the yard or snoozing on the porch, he’s the perfect mix of playful and chill.

Ranger is looking for a home that will continue his training, give him plenty of playtime, and love him for the sweet, silly boy he is. Could you be his person?

Ranger is at The Hero Rescue. Please contact them here.

Meet Johnny Cash, the Man in Black himself! Johnny is as genuine as they come. He’s a sensitive guy who’s doing his best to turn his life’s struggles into beautiful songs. Johnny is looking for a family of like-minded homebodies who appreciate his sweet, introverted qualities. He’s a gentle soul, and it takes him time and patience to warm up to people. He looks to his humans for reassurance in anxious situations and benefits from calm, patient humans. Once he’s comfortable, his foster parents describe him as a big, goofy, snuggly baby with the most soulful puppy dog eyes!

He loves food and adores his toys, cuddling up to them in a pile when he sleeps (even his hard chew bones)! He gets excited for indoor activities to keep his brain busy, like food puzzles, snuffle mats, and practicing training- he knows sit, down, come, and touch! He also loves wrapping his favorite toys in his own blankets! He will let you know when he wants something with cute little piglet grunts and nudges.

Johnny’s favorite place is curled up on the sofa, where he will gladly snooze the day away. His funniest trait is that he’s quite the active dreamer, so he tends to wiggle around in silly positions as he sleeps!

One of his most endearing qualities is his curiosity! Johnny Cash can be shy and afraid of a lot of things (including the wind), but given time to adapt to his surroundings, he methodically explores the world little by little. You can see him slowly push out of his comfort zone, pause to build up more courage, and then continue at his own pace. Johnny can become easily overwhelmed while outside, so he would love some outdoor space to call his own!

Because Johnny has fear and anxiety-based behaviors, he is on a special medication that has helped him feel more comfortable in his own skin. It’s important for an adopter to plan to continue his care and medication under the guidance of a vet behaviorist and a certified, rewards-based dog trainer.

Johnny came to PAWS after being found with an injury, but he’s healed up very well! He does have an ongoing skin issue that we are treating, and an adopter would need to plan to continue treatment as needed. 

We’re still learning more about how Johnny would feel about living with other animals, but we’re optimistic that he would do well with a confident and patient buddy to encourage him to come out of his shell a bit more. Johnny would appreciate a home without young children because they tend to overwhelm him. 

If you’re looking to open your heart to help a very special, shy guy, Johnny is waiting for you! He’d love nothing more than to snuggle up, listening to your favorite tunes together. Adopt Johnny Cash today and let the music play!

You can also view even more of Johnny’s highlight reel on Instagram @sphillyphoster!

Johnny will go home with a fabulous THREE MONTH SUPPLY CARE PACKAGE including his medications!

Johnny Cash is also sponsored by our partners at Kennel to Couch, so his adopter will receive an incredible (free!) “pibble package” of supplies and resources (see the full package details at: https://kenneltocouch.org/pitbull-adoption/)!

Say hello to Peaches—a sweet, silly, and affectionate pup sponsored by Kennel to Couch! Peaches is always ready to play, snuggle, and charm her way into your heart.
