buttercup

Hi, I’m Buttercup — your cuddle-loving, kiss-giving, big-hearted best girl. At 3 years old and about 35–40 pounds, I’m the perfect-sized sweetheart packed full of love. I’m spayed, up to date on my vaccines, and more than ready to find my forever family.

If you’ve been searching for a sweet, protective pup with the kindest eyes, the cutest quirky bark, and a heart absolutely bursting with love… I might just be your perfect match.

I’m a medium-energy sweetheart who absolutely loves people — truly, everyone is my new best friend. Strangers? Future besties. Kids? I adore them. I’m especially gentle and protective with my little humans, and while I can sometimes be a little unsure, loving and protecting my people is just part of who I am.

My favorite things? Treats (obviously), lick mats, chews, car rides, naps, lounging near my people, and giving approximately one million kisses a day. I’m basically a professional snuggler with an independent streak — I’ll happily soak up all your love, then take my personal space when I need it… but don’t worry, I always come back.

I’m potty trained when you learn my routine, walk pretty well on leash, and I’m fearless, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy — from my adorable not-quite-perfect sit to my tummy-up sleeping style, charming snores, and hilariously endearing bark. When it comes to other dogs, I can be selective because I love my humans so deeply and can be protective of my favorite people. With the right understanding of my cues and boundaries, I can absolutely shine. I’m also looking for a cat-free home.

I love deeply, protect fiercely, and just want to be close to my people. If your ideal best friend is equal parts cuddle bug, loyal shadow, protective sweetheart, and hilarious goofball, I’m ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and lots of kisses.

If you love cuddles but respect a little independence — and if you don’t mind being lovingly licked head to toe — I just might be your girl. Apply today.
