Buttercup may be a little shy when you first meet him, but with patience and a gentle approach, he quickly reveals his loving personality. He can feel nervous in new places and is looking for a caring family who will give him the reassurance he needs to settle in. Once Buttercup warms up, he’s an affectionate, intelligent companion eager to share his love. He already knows several tricks and enjoys showing them off in exchange for treats or attention. His eagerness to please and love of learning make him a wonderful candidate for continued training and new adventures. Buttercup has plenty of energy and would thrive in an active family excited to include him in walks, hikes, and everyday fun. After a busy day, he'll love settling in for some quality time with his favorite people. Given his initial nervousness, it’s recommended that children in his new home be at least 10 years old so they can understand and respect his need for adjustment. Buttercup may also do well with other gentle dogs after a slow introduction. If you’re looking for a smart, loving companion who will reward your patience with affection and loyalty, Buttercup is ready to meet you!
