About Buttercup

Meet Buttercup, a delightful 8-year-old female Pekingese looking for her forever home. She has a beautiful yellow/tan coat and a friendly demeanor that makes her a perfect companion. Buttercup was surrendered with her best friend, Hauss, and they must be adopted together as they share a deep bond. Buttercup enjoys cozy evenings on the couch, watching movies while snuggling with Hauss and enjoying tasty snacks together. She loves attention but also enjoys her exercise time before curling up for cuddle sessions. Although she's house trained, she sometimes needs a break if left alone for more than 4-5 hours, so having someone available throughout the day would be ideal. This lovely girl has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She has had some treatment for common skin issues associated with her breed but is doing well now. If you're looking to welcome two affectionate companions into your home, Buttercup and Hauss are ready to bring joy to your life. Make their next chapter the best one yet.
