And, of course, plenty of love and attention.

Sir Buttons is affectionate, gentle, playful, easygoing, and incredibly sweet. He's a low-energy little guy who loves his people, enjoys other dogs, and seems perfectly content simply being included in everyday life.
His foster describes him as:
"Low-key, happy, quiet, relaxed, and an easy keeper."
And honestly, Sir Buttons sounds like he has this whole companion-dog thing figured out!

Sir Buttons' Favorite Thing:
Being pampered, of course!
Sir Buttons is a little gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life.
A soft bed?
Excellent.
A warm lap?
Even better.
Someone willing to scoop him up and carry him around?
He absolutely loves being close to his people and is happiest when he has a comfortable place to settle.
He's not demanding about needing constant activity or entertainment.
In fact, Sir Buttons seems to have mastered the art of doing absolutely nothing while looking completely adorable.
Give him a cozy chair, a loving human, and a little attention, and he's perfectly content.
A Tiny Gentleman with an Absolutely Wonderful Personality
Sir Buttons is one of those dogs who just seems easy to love.
He's immediately friendly when meeting new people and genuinely enjoys human companionship.
He's gentle, affectionate, relaxed, and happy-go-lucky.
He doesn't need a lot of excitement to have a good day.
He simply enjoys being part of the family.
And while he's certainly a mellow little guy, he also has a playful, goofy side.
He enjoys toys, tug games, and spending time with other dogs.
His foster says he has an absolutely wonderful personality and gets along beautifully with his canine companions.
He's the perfect combination of playful little buddy and professional lap warmer.
Low Energy, Maximum Snuggle Potential
Sir Buttons is a low-energy dog who prefers a relaxed lifestyle.
He enjoys short walks and a little exploring, but he's not built for long-distance adventures.
His foster specifically notes that Sir Buttons cannot comfortably walk long distances.
So if you're looking for a hiking partner or a dog to accompany you on lengthy walks, Sir Buttons probably isn't your guy.
But if you're looking for someone to enjoy a short neighborhood stroll before heading home for a nap?
Sir Buttons would like to know when you're available.
He loves being carried, and because he's so tiny, it's easy to help him along when his little legs have had enough.
His ideal lifestyle includes gentle activity, plenty of affection, and lots of opportunities to relax.
He would be especially happy with someone who appreciates a slower pace of life.
The Most Adorable Bedtime Routine
Sir Buttons has one little habit that his foster finds especially entertaining.
He loves rolling around on his bed while groaning the entire time!
Apparently, this little guy believes getting comfortable deserves its own soundtrack.
Whether he's rearranging himself, enjoying the softness of his bed, or simply expressing his appreciation for a good nap, Sir Buttons makes sure everyone knows he's having a wonderful time.
It's one of those funny little personality quirks that makes a dog unforgettable.
And we have a feeling his future family is going to spend a lot of time laughing at his adorable antics.
Potty Training, Crate Training & Manners
Sir Buttons is doing well with his potty-training routine.
He's been introduced to a consistent schedule and is making good progress, although his future family should continue that routine as he adjusts to a new home.
Sir Buttons is already crate trained!
He also has excellent leash manners, which makes his short walks especially enjoyable.
He hasn't learned formal commands yet, but he's food motivated and toy motivated, giving his future family some great opportunities to teach him new skills.
His foster reports no major behavioral concerns.
Sir Buttons is a quiet, relaxed, easygoing companion who will benefit from continued consistency and positive reinforcement.
