Mr. Buttons's Story

A GOOD VET REFERENCE AND HEARTWORM PREVENTION ARE REQUIRED<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application:<br/>https://form.jotform.com/92916416469165<br/><br/>After the application is processed and approved, a home visit and meet and greet with the dogs will be scheduled. If there are any fencing issues, make sure that repairs are done prior to the home visit. Typically, the adoption is finalized the day after the home visit and meet and greet.<br/>Out of area adopters would need to drive/fly in to meet the dogs and adopt.<br/><br/>DOB: 3/29/2021<br/>Weight: 18#<br/>Mr. Button's adoption fee: $400<br/><br/>Mr. Buttons was running the streets in a big cluster of apartments for a minimum of 6 months before he was trapped. All of the residents knew him and a few nice residents would leave food out for him. But not everyone was nice to him. So, he was understandably not trusting of people.<br/><br/>He was extremely fearful and had some fear aggression. But he settled in and learned to trust again. He gets along with all of the other fosters and should be fine with most dogs with a proper introduction. He's crate trained and pretty well house trained now. It's been a joy to see his confidence building and his personality come out.<br/><br/>He is vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, neutered, microchipped with lifetime registration, heartworm negative (5/20/25) and on monthly heartworm prevention, etc.<br/><br/>He's pretty good on leash and confident now. He potties on leash and would be good as an apt or condo dog. He might not be ready for loud busy social settings. But he's been doing great around my quiet neighborhood. He does still startle with large and noisy delivery and garbage trucks. He's been non-reactive to people and large and small dogs when he passes them on out walks... even when they are barking and lunging at him from across the street. He's pretty quiet and not a huge barker. He likes car rides, toys, will play fetch, and he's a perfect snuggler on the sofa and gives gentle kissies when he's happy.<br/><br/>I have no clue what "breed" he is. But he's got black/tan markings like a minpin and similar body size with a big rounder head. So maybe a minpin/pug mix (yes, someone local was breeding and selling puppies) or maybe he's a puggle or who knows. He's 100% good boy though! <br/><br/>He only has one eye. So, I make sure that I don't just grab him, especially on his "blind side". When he was trapped, he still had sutures from when the eye was removed. So, someone paid for an expensive enucleation and then abandoned him. <br/><br/>He would be best suited to an adult only home. One that is familiar with rescue dogs and is nothing but patient and loving and uses positive reward-based training. He has alot of love to give to the right person.
