Dog's Name: Buttercup (BUT0426TAZFS) Estimated Breed: Hound mix Approximate Age: 2 years Approximate Weight: 39 lbs Currently Living at: Foster Adoption Fee: $400

DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Buttercup — a good-hearted girl just waiting to bloom Buttercup is a beautiful Hound mix with a sweet spirit and a quiet charm that will melt your heart. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, taking her time to feel safe in new surroundings—but give her a little patience and kindness, and you'll see her truly blossom. Once Buttercup knows you're her person, she'll roll over for belly rubs and happily soak up all the love she can get. This lovely girl is as easygoing as they come. She's very clean and happiest when she's curled up in your lap or stretched out beside you on the couch. Buttercup isn't looking for a fast-paced lifestyle; she's dreaming of a calm, cozy home where she can relax, feel safe, and simply be loved. She is skittish of loud noises and quick movements, so older, quieter, or dog savvy children would bond with her best. If you have a comfy spot on your couch, Buttercup is ready to fill your home with quiet companionship, warmth, and unconditional love. Apply today!

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
