My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Buttercup!

Buttercup was born on July 22, 2023. She is a boxer mix, about 30-35lbs and is guessed to weigh around 40lbs fully grown. She is narrow and small for a boxer mix. Her mom is a full boxer, and we are unsure about dad.

Buttercup is a very friendly and active puppy, who just wants attention from her people. She is affectionate, loves kisses, and belly rubs. Buttercup is VERY kissy and loves people. She stays close to her foster mom, always making sure foster mom is still nearby.

Buttercup is all joy and bounciness. Nothing makes her happier than to chill right next to you. She learned "sit" in 5 minutes. So much training potential! Buttercup is a smart cookie, who loves to learn new tricks. She's athletic and could be an agility dog.

This friendly and funny pooch is your new best friend! She is incredibly affectionate and enjoys showing her love with kisses and belly rubs. Her loyalty will have you feeling loved and cared for each and every day.

Buttercup loves to play, run around, and check out what's going on in the world. She's a curious pup who loves to be independent and explore on her own, but also loves the comfort of her humans.

She is great with other dogs, as she is not reactive and loves meeting new friends. She does well with children.

Buttercup is still learning house manners. She has tapped the door a few times to be let out and is getting housetraining down. With patience and appropriate training, she will become even a more awesome dog!

She can jump very high and is very food motivated. Buttercup loves toys, soft beds, and a lap. She crates well at night.

Buttercup is looking for an active family that will play and run/hike with her. If you're looking for a loving, loyal, and playful companion, Bellissima Buttercup is the one for you!


PLEASE NOTE:

We review veterinary care for applicants. This includes regular well visits, up-to-date and consistent core vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm and tick-borne disease testing, and regular monthly heartworm prevention.

You MUST contact your vet to give them permission to speak to us for the vet check BEFORE we call them. We will not be able to call veterinarians multiple times and we would hate for an application to be turned down because no authorization is on file with the vet.

Application can be found at www.puppypawsrescue.org

If your application meets our adoption criteria, we will contact you within 1 week. You will then be asked to schedule an interview and virtual home visit. Please check your SPAM folder for emails from PuppyPawsRescue. Due to the volume of applications, applications that do not move forward to an interview, may not hear back from us within that time frame.

Our team is an all-volunteer team, managing families, our paying jobs, households, foster dogs, application processing, interviews and home visits, follow-up, transports, and much more. We ask that you be courteous and patient with us.
