BUTTERCUP - BORDER COLLIE / CATTLE DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Cattle Dog / Mixed. Meet Buttercup — a smart, sweet, and sensitive girl ready for her perfect home! Buttercup is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix weighing just 27 lbs, and she’s the perfect combination of sweetness, intelligence, and playful energy. She may start out very shy when meeting new people or entering new environments, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines. When Buttercup trusts you, she really loves you. This girl is still young and full of puppy energy. She has high exercise needs and thrives on daily walks, play sessions, training, and mental challenges. Her favorite thing in the world is playing with other playful dogs, and she’d be thrilled to have a canine buddy in her new home. She is still learning to read cues from dogs who aren’t interested in playing right away, so continued socialization will help her understand those boundaries as she matures. Buttercup is crate trained, house trained, and learning her leash manners—she doesn’t pull, but she’s still working on confidence while out and about. She’s incredibly smart and eager to please, making training both fun and rewarding. She’s very treat-motivated and loves having a “job” to do. She will need continued training to help with manners (she’s been known to hop onto tables or counters if food is present!), but she learns quickly with guidance. She’s good with other dogs, great with patient kids who allow her time to warm up, and while her experience with cats is unknown, her instinct will likely be to play or chase. Buttercup’s perfect family will be active, committed to ongoing training, and excited to provide her with enrichment and structure. Another dog would be a bonus, but the most important thing is a family who will nurture her confidence and give her the stimulation she needs to thrive. Her adorable looks, her gentle sweetness, and the way she blossoms once she trusts you will have you saying "as you wish." If you’re looking for a sweet, bright, eager young dog who will adore you endlessly, Buttercup may be your true love. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
