About Button

Meet Button. Button is a striking young wire-haired terrier/Schnauzer mix with golden-hazel eyes and a playful white mohawk. At three years old, he enjoys adventures, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a day on the trails. His energy is contagious, and he loves being part of the action. One of Button's most charming traits is his ability to chatter when excited, sharing his thoughts enthusiastically. When it's time to relax, he stretches out on his back, clearly enjoying the attention he craves. He has shown intelligence by picking up leash skills quickly and adapting to routines in his foster home. Button is house trained and has crate skills, but new adopters should be prepared for a slight adjustment period. While Button forms deep bonds with his people, he can be insecure around new faces. An experienced home would help him build trust and navigate any anxiety. He's sensitive to overstimulating situations, having previously nipped at joggers. To manage this, he is muzzle trained, ensuring he can enjoy his outings safely. Button is overall a chill companion who thrives with understanding and a solid routine.
