Buttercup's Story

**This dog is not in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes. We are assisting in her rehoming process. If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application here: https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform **<br/><br/> Meet Buttercup: The "Floppy" Adventure Queen <br/><br/>Looking for a dog who is equal parts world-class athlete and professional snuggler? Meet Buttercup, a 3-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix who is ready to be your new best friend.<br/><br/>The Good Stuff:<br/><br/>- Pro Trainee: She knows sit, stay, roll over, high five, spin, and more! She's house-trained, kennel-trained, and has excellent recall.<br/><br/>- Family Favorite: Buttercup is incredible with kids and currently lives peacefully with a cat (who definitely runs the house).<br/><br/>- Affection Level 10/10: She's "floppy," loves to be picked up, gives actual hugs, and lives for neck scratches.<br/><br/>- Outdoor Enthusiast: She loves soccer balls, splashing in puddles, and long sniffs in the grass.<br/><br/>Her "Work in Progress":<br/>Buttercup is highly reactive to other dogs on a leash. It's not aggression-she just gets frustrated because she wants to say hi right now-but it means she barks and lunges when she sees a furry neighbor. Because of this, she's looking for a home outside of the busy city.<br/><br/>Ideal Home:<br/> A house with a fenced yard or some land.<br/> A "no-other-dogs" household (or an experienced owner who can manage her toy/food guarding around other pets).<br/> Someone who loves a smart, food-motivated dog and doesn't mind a bit of extra training on walks.<br/><br/>Buttercup is a loyal, happy girl who just needs the right environment to thrive. Could your yard be her new favorite playground?
