What kind of home would be best for me? Buttercup is a gentle and affectionate girl who’s eager to become a part of your family. She came to us as a breeder release, having had three litters in her short four years. Now, she’s ready to experience the joys of a true dog’s life—filled with love, play, cuddles, and plenty of fun in a forever home.
Buttercup would be happy in a variety of home settings, whether it’s with a single person, a couple, or a family. If she’s going to a home with children, we recommend that the kids be mature and gentle with her. Loud noises or quick, erratic movements can startle her, especially since she came from a breeding background. With time, she will adjust, but we want to ensure her new environment is calm and supportive.
Though she’s never been tested with cats, Buttercup met a few on a recent vet trip and showed curiosity without aggression. If you have a cat, it’s important to supervise their early interactions, but Buttercup has not shown signs of a prey drive. With proper introductions, things should go smoothly.
An adopter who already has another dog would be ideal, as Buttercup would benefit from having a playmate and a mentor to show her how to be a dog and a well-behaved pet.
Buttercup was born to share her love. She loves people and will lean in for pets, nudge your hand for pets, and jump up on you, not aggressively, to both give and get hugs.
What is my personality like? Meet beautiful Buttercup a sweet and loving girl looking for her forever home. Buttercup has a gentle personality. She’s easygoing and gets along well with other dogs. Buttercup is as sweet and loving as they come. She is the gentlest dog you will ever encounter. Buttercup thrives on human affection and will shower you with love in return. She’s a big girl, so she’ll need a home with space—ideally with a fenced-in yard where she can safely romp and play.
Buttercup is eager to please and will be a joy to train with the right guidance. While she walks well on a leash, she hasn’t had formal training and would benefit from some basic leash manners. She is also working on learning basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down. With patience and consistency, she’ll thrive and quickly pick up new skills.
If you are looking for a loving dog, Buttercup is your girl.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Buttercup is all about love! She will jump up on you to give and get hugs, nudge your hand for pets, and lean her head in for more when you stop petting her. Buttercup is not an aggressive girl—she simply wants to share her love with you.
Other tips and tidbits: Buttercup was born on or about 08/24/20.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn’t keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
