Introducing Buttercup, the adorable 6-week-old Dachshund/Beagle/Chihuahua mix who is just bursting with personality! 🌟 This pint-sized little treasure is the smallest in her litter, but don’t let her size fool you—she’s packing a whole lot of love and charm! With soulful eyes that speak volumes and a unique pattern of markings, Buttercup is one-of-a-kind—a true gem in every sense. 🐾💕 She's expected to grow to a cuddly 13-17 lbs, making her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a snuggly friend! Due to her tender age, Buttercup is in a foster-to-adopt program, so her adventures are just beginning! 🏡✨ She can't be adopted legally until she's spayed around 6 months of age, but that just means you have a wonderful chance to bond with her first! Interested families will need to go through a thoughtful onboarding process with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR), which includes an in-home inspection and a few checks. It’s all about ensuring that Buttercup finds her forever family! 💖 Before you bring her home, Buttercup will be fully vaccinated and ready to brighten your life after December 24th! 🎄 The standard adoption fee is $850, but for this lovely foster-to-adopt arrangement, you can finalize the adoption for just $600, with the remaining $250 credited towards her future spay surgery. Like any spunky puppy, Buttercup will thrive in a loving home that is ready to offer her positive reinforcement training—because let’s be honest, training her to channel all that adorableness into good behavior is a must! 🐕✨ Given her young age, families with children under 7 are advised to rethink, as this little one needs special attention and care to grow into the amazing adult dog she's meant to be! With the holidays upon us, it's crucial to remember that puppies aren’t just gifts; they are lifelong commitments. RMDR will conduct a thoughtful interview with all household members, and a meet and greet at your home is part of the process to ensure Buttercup’s new life is just right! 🎉 If you have experience with training and are ready to shower Buttercup with all the affection, patience, and love, she could be the perfect companion for your family! ❤️ Buttercup is currently being fostered in Colorado and is accepting adoption applications until December 20, 2025. Don’t forget to check her location, as you’ll need to pick her up personally! RMDR does not transport pets, and the legal requirements, including proof of vaccinations, are all part of ensuring a healthy transition into your home. 🐾💼 Ready to let this little ball of joy steal your heart?
