Buttercup Needs Her Person ☀️🐾
Since December, Buttercup has been waiting in boarding through Paws Without Borders for someone willing to see past the “too much” moments and into the incredibly special dog underneath.
Buttercup is a vibrant, goofy, affectionate little powerhouse who absolutely adores people and loves other dogs. She is playful, portable, snuggly, pick-up-able, and full of personality. She loves training, loves wearing clothes, has a favorite blanket, and tries SO hard to get things right.
Like many young-at-heart dogs, Buttercup sometimes gets carried away by her excitement and needs help settling into everyday life. She is not a fit for homes with young children (because of her excitement level) or cats (due to prey drive).
What Buttercup really needs now is a chance to move beyond boarding and into real life. Even a temporary foster for a few weeks could be life-changing for her — giving her the opportunity to practice in-home skills, decompress, and provide valuable feedback that could help her find the right forever home.
She is not a “bad” dog. She is a deeply loving, high-energy dog who needs guidance, structure, patience, and someone willing to invest focused attention into helping her grow. The potential is absolutely there.
If you've ever had a soft spot for the underdogs, the project dogs, the dogs who love with their whole heart but need help putting the pieces together — Buttercup deserves a real chance. 💛
