Meet Buttercup

Meet Buttercup! Sweet Buttercup is a lovely 26-pound red-and-white Rat Terrier mix who is ready to find her forever family! Buttercup absolutely loves people, although she can be a little timid when she first meets you. Give her a little time to feel comfortable, and her sweet personality begins to shine. She’s a calm, quiet, and gentle girl who would love nothing more than to be part of a loving family. Buttercup isn’t looking for a life filled with excitement—she’d much rather be your loyal companion, enjoying the comfort of a home and the love of her people.
