Buttercup is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a gentle heart and a love for being close to her people. From the moment you meet her, she greets you with a soft tail wag and an easy, friendly nature. She’s the kind of dog who’s happiest curled up in your lap, soaking in all the love and attention you’re willing to give.

Buttercup is calm, social, and enjoys companionship more than anything. She walks nicely with a light leash pull and is curious about the world around her without being overwhelmed. She’s been respectful and relaxed around other dogs, showing friendly curiosity and then happily moving along.

She’s easy to handle, enjoys being picked up, and absolutely loves being held. While she prefers gentle handling in certain areas, she overall has a soft, trusting personality and forms connections quickly.

Buttercup would do best in a home without very young children, where she can enjoy a peaceful environment and plenty of one-on-one affection. She’s also open to sharing her home with other friendly dogs.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who just wants to be by your side, Buttercup might be your perfect match.
