Buttercup - Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Salt Lake City, Utah

Buttercup is new to the sanctuary. She is on the shy side but so sweet and gentle. We noticed Buttercup come out of her shell after bringing her to some water where she could wade and swim! This made her so happy and surprised us! She was so content just being in the water. We were able to see a different side of her .
Buttercup is looking for a family of her own and if you happen to be around water, she would love to take a little swim with you!

While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
