This week the Bullock County Humane Society features Butters
For more than three years, Butters has been patiently waiting at the Bullock County Humane Society for someone to give her the loving forever home she deserves. Butters arrived at the shelter on May 24, 2023, after being abandoned alongside a busy highway. Although her life did not get off to the best start, this sweet girl has not let her past keep her from loving people and enjoying life.
