About Buttercup

Buttercup was rescued alongside her sisters, Bubbles and Blossom, from Yuma. Though they are around 2-4 years old, Buttercup is still working on her confidence. She's house trained and generally shy, but she's friendly with dogs and is gradually becoming more affectionate. All three girls came to us frightened, but with patience and care in their foster home, they are blossoming. Just a few days after the rescue, Blossom had three puppies, but now Bubbles and Buttercup are spayed and ready for their forever homes. They have all passed their clean 4dx tests, ensuring they are healthy and ready for adoption. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to welcome into your home, Buttercup could be the perfect match!
