Hello, I’m Princess Buttercup, though my foster mom just calls me Shelly. I’m a 9-year-old mixed-breed pup, and I weigh 35 lbs. I'm the sweetest girl you’ve ever met. I get along great with everyone, and I'm gentle around kids and great with other dogs! 

Don’t let that age fool you, I’m a “young" 9 – my foster mom is honestly shocked, she says I don’t look my age at all! For being an older lady, I sure do love to go for long walks!  I recently discovered that I love going out on hikes with my foster mom. It turns out, I’m a fantastic trail dog, if I do say so myself. I stay close to my foster mom and come to her when I’m called.

I’m a low-energy pup for the most part, but I do have my “bouncy moments,” as my foster mom likes to call them. These are times when I’m excited about something, but I calm back down easily if you ask. When I meet my friends down at the park, I engage in some high-energy play too, though I need someone who will supervise playtime, cause if another dog is too pushy, I can get a bit upset and would love for my person to step in and help me out. Though for the most part, I get on just fine. 

I can sit, lie down, and shake on command. Other than that, I’m fully potty trained, sleep quietly in my bed all night long, and I’m not a pup you’d have to worry about chewing up the house. I’m happy to lie around and nap while you are away. I’ll be thrilled to go on a walk when you get home, though. I just love going for walks! Then I’m happy to snuggle up with you for the evening. I’m a pro at cuddles. 

The perfect placement for me would be with a nice, calm person or family, because I can be shy sometimes and a little sensitive to loud environments. I’d love to go with someone who is into outdoor activities like hiking and camping. I just love being outdoors, and I’m the perfect dog to bring along because of how calm and mindful I am to stay near my people. I’m a no-fuss kinda dog! I also wouldn’t mind siblings, human or dog, but I would prefer dogs with lower energy.

Quick highlights about me:

-   Small, convenient size, perfect for apartments and small vehicles – I love car rides!

-   Quiet, I mean I am a dog, I do bark, but never in excess.

-   Responsible, leaving for work? I’ll keep an eye on the place. It will be just as you left it!

-   Expert cuddle dog. There isn’t a bad day that I can’t help with.  

-   Outdoorsy – let’s go on so many adventures together!

-   Sweet, loving, well-behaved – you can confidently bring me to any place that dogs are allowed.
