Meet Buttercup
Buttercup is a 1.5-2 year old Border Collie mix weighing about 35lbs.
Buttercup was dumped at a shelter in New Mexico with 2 day old puppies. Some crummy human actually dumped a terrified, exhausted, brand new Momma at the shelter to die alone trying to protect her puppies. When the shelter moved her into a cage with her puppies she tried to protect them (obviously) so the shelter immediately deemed her unadoptable, but was going to adopt out her puppies at less than a week old. Keep in mind, these shelters in this area are dealing with almost zero government funding and hundreds of dogs being dumped on them, so this is not their fault.
We couldn't let Buttercup die this way and we didn't want her to be separated from her puppies that she loved so much. We scrambled to get a transport together to get them all here to CO where they would be safe. Once the puppies were old enough Buttercup went to our board and train program since we had to do our do dilligence since the shelter had deemed her "aggressive".
The day she went to our trainer, our trainer called us within the hours and said Buttercup was the sweetest happiest girl and she did not need board and train, and could be put up for adoption. We decided to go through with the training program since she was already there and we knew it would set her up for success no matter what. We do strongly believe in training and will require her adopters take our partner training classes just so they can learn more about dogs and learn about everything Buttercup has learned while she has been here.
Buttercup is a wonderful pup. She has an amazing zest for life and is just always so happy and social. She gets along great with all other dogs and people. She has a good amount of energy just like most Border Collies but she also loves affection and loves to snuggle. She is everybody's favorite who meets her. She would be a perfect dog for daily runs/hikes, a doggy playmate, an someone who wants a dog to love and snuggle!
