Button is approximately 9 months old and is looking for a family to be his "tiny shadow with floppy ears." He's a professional snuggler, gentle kiss distributor, squeaky toy enthusiast, and an emotional support sidekick who believes everyone was put on this earth to love him. He's the definition of soft-hearted sweetness in an adorable puppy package. Button is confident with people and incredibly affectionate, settling into connection almost immediately. He approaches all new human experiences with enthusiasm, considering everyone he meets a potential best friend. He loves attention and has that wonderful "Velcro-dog" quality, sticking close to his person without being demanding. And let's not forget his ears – one spotted, one solid, both impossibly floppy and bouncing with his every step!
Ideal Home
Button would thrive in a home that can help him continue building confidence, ideally with a family that is confident and reassuring. He would likely do well in various living situations, including apartments, as long as he receives continued socialization, structure, playtime, and love. He enjoys being included in his people's activities and would appreciate canine friends who are kind, socially appropriate, and not overly pushy.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Button has shown calm acceptance of his surroundings, including loud environments and busy surroundings. When unsure, he tends to "pancake" or freeze briefly rather than react aggressively, and he is easily redirected and reassured. He has excellent tolerance during handling and allows touching of his paws, ears, face, and body without concern. He never barked during his time with the rescue. He is content with squeaky toys and carrying around stuffed animals.
