Buttercup - Shepherd and Retriever Dog for Adoption in Fishers, Indiana

It is my pleasure to introduce to you: Buttercup!

As the adventure seeker in her litter, you can always find this beautiful girl searching for the next thing to get into. Whether that be searching the perimeter of the yard to make sure the neighbor's chickens know she is keeping an eye on them or scavenging the house for stray dog toys, Buttercup is always ready to jump into her next fun feat. There is never a dull moment around this spitfire, and she is definitely a spirited and high energy bundle of joy.

This little lady is fully vetted including: vaccinations according to her age, deworming medication dosages, a fecal screening, a spay surgery, a microchip, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Additionally, Buttercup has spent the last few weeks in a home learning how to be a true family pup. She is working on basic training (kennel training, potty training, basic commands, etc.), and she has been exposed and socialized with the current resident animals in her foster home: dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. She is ready to give one lucky family all of the love! Is that family yours?
