My story

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

Meet Buttercup, a 1.5-year-old double merle Australian Shepherd with deafness who is currently at Fort Bend County Animal Shelter outside of Houston, Texas. Buttercup cannot leave the shelter unless a foster or adopter steps forward—and we’re hoping that could be you.

Buttercup is pure sunshine wrapped in a fluffy coat. Her deafness does not slow her down or dim her spirit one bit. She is incredibly loving, affectionate, and sweet, with a big heart for people of all ages. She adores kids, lives for cuddles and kisses, and still has plenty of playful, happy energy to share.

Buttercup has previously lived successfully in a home with kids, dogs, and cats. Because she cannot hear cues, she does best with slow and thoughtful introductions to other dogs, but her nature is friendly and positive. She is potty trained and walks fairly well on leash, especially with gentle guidance and consistency.

This special girl just needs a safe place to land so her rescue story can truly begin. By fostering or adopting Buttercup, you’re not just saving a life—you’re giving a deserving dog the chance to shine in the loving home she’s been waiting for.
