For a 4-month-old puppy, Butters Mellow Fellow is surprisingly good at taking life easy. This German Shepherd and Husky mix certainly has his puppy moments, but he also seems to have figured out something pretty early: not everything needs to happen at full speed. When the excitement settles down, Butters Mellow Fellow is perfectly capable of settling down right along with it. Butters Mellow Fellow is a happy, gentle puppy with a soft personality to match that soft coat. He’s relaxed and easygoing most of the time, but there’s a silly side hiding in there too. Put a blanket over him and suddenly his goofy personality makes an appearance. He also happens to be incredibly photogenic and seems to have no trouble turning on the charm when a camera comes out. He currently lives in a foster home with other dogs and is doing very well sharing his home with them. Butters Mellow Fellow gets to experience the activity that comes with a multi-dog household while showing that he can adjust his own energy along the way. That ability to dial things back is one of the nicest things about him. Butters Mellow Fellow is still a puppy, so of course he has energy and wants to play, but he also has a calm demeanor and knows how to relax when the moment calls for it. He’s already crate trained and potty trained, which gives him a great start on life in a home. Combined with his gentle personality and adaptable energy, Butters Mellow Fellow could be a nice match for someone adopting a dog for the first time. He’ll still need the guidance, consistency, and continued learning that come with raising any young puppy, but he already has some wonderful foundations in place. Butters Mellow Fellow is soft, silly, charismatic, and wonderfully laid-back. He can join in when there’s fun to be had and settle down when it’s time to relax. For someone looking for a puppy with personality without needing everything to be a hundred miles an hour, this mellow little guy might be exactly what they’ve been waiting for.
