Story
Meet Button 🐾Button is a handsome young wire-haired terrier/Schnauzer mix, 26lbs, around 2âÂ'3 years old, with gorgeous golden-hazel eyes, a soft white chest and an adorable little white mohawk that fits his goofy personality perfectly. Please read ButtonâÂÂs full bio before applying, as he has some specific needs and weâÂÂre looking for a home that will truly be the right fit for him.One really important thing to know about Button: he probably isnâÂÂt going to âÂÂshowâ well at a first meet.Button can be insecure with new people, and it often takes meeting someone a time or two before you really get to see who he is. We donâÂÂt want someone to meet him once, see a nervous or unsure dog and assume thatâÂÂs his personality.Once Button decides youâÂÂre safe and lets his guard down, heâÂÂs a completely different dog. HeâÂÂs goofy, affectionate, loyal, talkative and has SO much personality.ButtonâÂÂs home requirements:⢠A securely fenced yard⢠Another playful dog in the home⢠An active adopter committed to regular walks, hikes and exercise⢠No apartments⢠No young children⢠Experienced, patient and dog-savvy adopters⢠Someone willing to give him time to build trust instead of expecting an instant connectionThese things are important for Button and arenâÂÂt just preferences. WeâÂÂve gotten to know him well and know what kind of environment he needs to be happy and successful.Button loves being part of the action. Walks around the neighborhood, trail hikes, adventures with his people⦠he needs that in his life. Regular exercise is really important for him. If he doesnâÂÂt get enough walks, hikes and opportunities to get out and use his brain, he can become anxious and restless.At home, heâÂÂs actually a pretty chill guy when those needs are being met. He loves lounging on his back with all four legs in the air, hanging out with his people and soaking up attention.And Button âÂÂtalks.â 😂 He makes all kinds of funny little sounds and chatter when heâÂÂs excited or wants your attention. He definitely has opinions and isnâÂÂt shy about sharing them.HeâÂÂs also VERY smart. He figured out the dog door almost immediately and settled into his foster homeâÂÂs routine quickly. He is potty trained, although any dog can have a learning curve in a new home, and he is pretty well crate trained.Button does have some insecurities that his future family needs to understand. He can become uncomfortable or overstimulated in certain situations and has previously nipped toward joggers who unexpectedly ran toward him on walks. He is muzzle trained for situations where some extra management is appropriate. His muzzle is simply a safety tool that allows him to still get out and enjoy life while setting him up for success.Because of his sensitivities, Button is not appropriate for a home with young children. He needs a more predictable environment with people who can understand his body language, respect his boundaries and advocate for him.The biggest thing we want people to understand is that the Button you meet on day one probably isnâÂÂt the Button youâÂÂll know once he feels safe with you.He may not immediately crawl into your lap or convince you that youâÂÂre his new best friend at a meet and greet. Give him a little time. Once youâÂÂre one of his people, you get the funny, affectionate, quirky little guy his foster family knows and loves.Button isnâÂÂt going to be the right dog for every home, and thatâÂÂs okay. WeâÂÂre looking for the home that understands what he needs and will appreciate the incredibly smart, fun and loyal dog underneath those initial insecurities.To be considered for Button, please submit a detailed adoption application so we can help make sure itâÂÂs the right match for everyone.Apply at: www.K9ppr.orgNovember 4, 2026, 10:43 pm
