BUTTERCUP- AS SWEET AS HER NAME - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Buttercup This sweet 2ish-year-old yellow lab mix hasn’t had the easiest start to life. She came from a busy home in Texas where she didn’t get the time, training, or care she deserved—but despite it all, Buttercup is nothing but love. She’s affectionate, eager to please, and fully convinced she’s a lap dog. She greets everyone with a big hug, loves kids, and walks happily by your side like she’s been waiting her whole life for her person. Buttercup is still learning her house manners and basic commands, but she’s a quick study and so ready to learn. She would thrive with someone who has the time to guide her, love her, and give her the life she’s been missing. She’s currently in boarding in Texas (thanks to a kind rescuer who stepped up for her), but we would love to get her to New Jersey with a foster or adopter soon. She’s a bit underweight at 40 lbs and should be closer to 50–55 lbs—she just needs good food, love, and stability. Buttercup would do best as the only dog while she builds confidence, but what she lacks in polish, she more than makes up for in heart. Let’s give this girl the fresh start she’s been waiting for Buttercup will be a wonderful addition to most families. Her adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.
