an Adoption Application. If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet Buttercup! Buttercup is currently being fostered in the Ocean Beach area and can frequently be seen walking in Liberty Station or enjoying some doggy play time at the OB dog park. She is quite the rave! In fact, her foster family has provided several cute little facts about Buttercup: 1) Buttercup likes to be sung to! She'll hold your hand with her paw and stare into your eyes when you sing to her and if you start singing to her when she's not in front of you, she runs over and sits and holds your hand with her paw. She is a sweet girl that likes a LOT of attention and love! It is our hope that she will find a forever family that will give her all the love she deserves! 2) Buttercup carries her stuffed turtle with her wherever she goes! I need to bring her turtle to the adoption events, so that when she finds her forever family, her turtle can go home with her. She is super funny about her turtle. The other day, she forgot it outside in the cold. The door was shut to keep the cold outside, so she stood by the door waiting and when we let her out, she immediately ran and grabbed her turtle and came back inside (see the photo of Buttercup and her turtle taking a nap on her cot). 3) Buttercup is the BEST dog park dog or a pup that you can take for a beer somewhere, like The Dog Society, which has a dog play area. She is also an amazing running partner and likes to go for walks. We have been working with her so that she learns not to “pull” hard on walks and she has made great progress! Our 7 year old has been able to walk her and keep a hold of her leash. She loves all dogs of any size, is great with kids, and is kennel and potty trained. She sleeps in her kennel through the night. During the day she has been in her kennel 2-5 hours and does well, especially if she is given a chew treat or TV/music is left on during the daytime. When she is out in the yard, she only barks if another dog should bark or if someone comes to the gate. Otherwise she keeps herself entertained by checking things out in the yard, looking for something to play with or chew. 4) We first started to foster Buttercup in October and she has been with our family most of the time since then (minus a week or so during the holidays). She is a silly and energetic girl! She is learning the rules of the house, however she is very smart and catches on quickly. In fact she actually used her intelligence the first month or so trying to figure out ways around the rules. LOL! With consistency on our part, she assimilated well. Buttercup would do best with a knowledgeable dog owner, who will keep up on her training.
