Default Flutterbug needs a home

Flutterbug has a big personality in a very small package. She loves to be held and cuddled and is currently being leash trained and learning basic commands. She enjoys going for walks and looks forward to getting doggie biscuits! Flutterbug would make a great family pet. For more information call Margaret at 888-813-6634 or email margesottilo@gmail.com.

Thanks for helping Flutterbug.

Yes, she really is and got along great with a boxer friend, all 8 or so pounds of her. Very sweet gal.

Please don't say she would make a great "family" pet as those little ones are not great for families with small children. I have a lot of experience with this small breed.

Please don't generalize. It all depends on what type of home she has been raised in and how well trained she is. I also have experience in this area. I have many friends that own this breed and similar breeds and they have been great around their children and grandchildren as well.

many dogs that haven't been around children are simply afraid of them. The owner needs to protect the pet from the child until the pet is comfortable that the child won't hurt them. Dogs don't hold grudges; they just need proper training, and people need to not let a young child scream and run up to a scared dog. That is just a recipe for disaster all around, and unfortunately the pet is the one to suffer.

That is such good news, thanks so much for letting us know.

Many people who go to the dog park (Doggie Doo Run Run) have dogs that they rescued. People in TV have big hearts.
