Meet Butkus
Built like a linebacker. Loves like a teddy bear. Butkus may have a tough-guy name, but don't let it fool you—this handsome senior is all heart. He's friendly, easygoing, and happiest with simple things like a comfy bed, a favorite toy, and someone to keep him company. Shelter life has lasted far too long for this sweet boy. He's ready to leave the kennel behind and become someone's loyal shadow, professional couch companion, and best friend. Every teddy bear deserves a home. We think Butkus has waited long enough.
