Hi, my name is Buttercup!  I’m your typical Rez puppy—shy and timid at first, but once I warm up, all I want to do is cuddle. I’m an independent girl who also enjoys checking in with my foster brothers throughout the day. I really take cues from other dogs around me. If they’re playing and barking, I’ll happily join in; if they’re relaxing or napping, I’ll do the same.  I’m also a very smart girl—I learned how to sit in less than 12 hours (a new record, right? check out this  video   ) . I sleep in my playpen at night and don’t whine, which my foster mom really appreciates. I’m working hard on my potty training; I prefer to hold my bladder for a while, but going number two outside is a breeze for me. I LOVE treats and attention, and I’m usually pretty quiet unless there’s another puppy I want to hang out with—then I like to make it known that I’m here! I’m still learning how to walk nicely on a leash, but my foster mom says I’m doing well and calls me a good girl, which makes me wiggle with happiness. I’m not sure if my name is Buttercup or “pretty girl,” but hey… I can be both, right? Buttercup is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.   Click here to watch a video of Buttercup.
