About Buttercup
Dogs – Meet & Greet
Cats – Not a good fit
Kids – Yes, 5+
Buttercup is a happy, wiggly girl looking for a home where she can finally settle in and be loved for exactly who she is. She's had a few stops along the way, and she's more than ready for a stable place where she can feel safe and shine.
She loves to play and would be thrilled with a family that has kids over 5 who enjoy a lively dog with a silly streak. She does best with some structure in her day and really enjoys activities that make her think and move. She's a champ at learning new things, especially when she gets to do it with her favorite people. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet, loyal side comes out fast, and she'll stick by you like she's known you forever.
Buttercup isn't a fan of cats, but she's more than ready to bring joy and companionship to her very own family. She just needs someone patient and steady who will help her feel settled so she can blossom into her very best self. Buttercup has so much love and light to share, and she can't wait to find the people who'll treasure her right back!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
