Buttons puppies are officially ready to find their forever homes. These mixed-breed puppies have overcome a difficult start in life and are now healthy, social, and ready for adoption. Their mother, Buttons, is a small 19-pound dog who was found on the streets with her five puppies while severely matted. She is believed to be a Shih Tzu/Poodle-type mix, possibly Cockapoo or similar doodle-type mix. The sire is unknown, but based on appearance, the puppies may have Collie, Corgi, Australian Shepherd, Spaniel, or other small mixed-breed ancestry. Date of birth is estimated as February 22, 2026, and they are now approximately 16 weeks old. The litter includes Stitch, a male weighing 18.4 pounds who is black, white, and tan; Lace, a female weighing 15.8 pounds who is dark brown, tan, and white; Patch, a male weighing 14 pounds who is light brown, tan, and white; Velvet, a female weighing 14 pounds who is black and white and currently adoption pending; and Dart, a male weighing 10 pounds who is black and white. These puppies have soft medium to long coats that will require regular brushing and routine grooming. Their adult size is expected to be small to medium with some variation between littermates. They have been raised around children, cats, and other dogs and have done very well in a family environment.
