Story
NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME This pet was brought in by a community member on January 17, 2026. Buttercup is a very shy, soft-hearted dog who needs a patient and understanding home to truly blossom. She may be reserved at first, but beneath her quiet exterior is a sweet soul who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved.Buttercup requires gentle handling, slow introductions, and plenty of patience as she builds trust. She takes time to feel confident and comfortable, but once she does, her affection is incredibly special and rewarding. Small victories-like a wagging tail or choosing to sit nearby, mean the world with a dog like Buttercup.  Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 45 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

This is an amazing dog. He was abandoned in Mexico and stayed outside me door because I fed him. I thought he might go home becausae I know the house he was at but they did not take care of him. We let him in and he's great with everybody and so smart. He can be service dog or just a great family member.  ##2302768##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I can't say enough about Blue Nova. Just look at this precious girl, she's not only beautiful and sweet she's smart and oh so loving&#226&#157&#164 Her foster mama says "when she loves you she loves you hard" Blue Nova, is professionally trained so she needs an experienced owner that is willing to keep up her skills. She's a wonderful playmate with the puppies that come into our rescue, but as all dogs proper intro is required. Blue Nova, thrives on love and attention so we would prefer her to be with someone that can provide her with unconditional love. She wants to be your cuddle bug and protector, she loves her people immensely. She's a big strong dog who doesn't realize her size. Because of her strength she would do best in a home with no young children. She loves hiking, playing fetch and loves to swim. Are you a pack leader, who can provide Blue Nova with love and structure? Because this is what Blue Nova needs to thrive! If you live in San Diego County or surrounding areas, have a home with a yard and a minimum of a 6ft fence and would love to meet this awesome girl then please complete our adoption application at www.tlck9rescue.org Thank you TLC K9 RescueVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 16, 2024, 11:57 am
