In the shelter’s words
~~THIS DOG IS A COURTESY POST AND **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY.PLEASE REACH OUT TO THER OWNER DIRECTLY AT oliviazaragoza1017@gmail.com TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER. THANK YOU~~Buttercup is a fun-loving, floppy dog who absolutely loves running and sniffing outside. She is fantastic indoors and is both fully house-trained and kennel-trained. She is 3 years old, spayed, up to date on all shots and is 50 lbs.She enjoys brain games and learning tricks, and she has a friendly, affectionate temperament. Buttercup gets along well with our cat and does well with children, though since we don’t have kids she can be a bit excited at first.She is very well trained and knows sit, stay, down, roll over, shake, high five, spin, speak, place (stay), and has excellent recall. She is eager to please and highly food-motivated. Buttercup is reactive toward other dogs. This is not generally aggressive behavior—she simply really wants to get to the dogs she sees—but it can make walks stressful in busy areas. We are unsure how Buttercup would do in a home with another dog, as she has shown some resource-guarding tendencies around food with other animals. She has never exhibited any guarding behavior toward humans or children.Buttercup absolutely loves playing with soccer balls and basketballs, splashing in puddles, running through tall grass and wooded areas, and cuddling up for neck scratches and pats. She is great during baths and tolerates nail trims well. Inside the home and outdoors when other dogs are not present, she is truly a wonderful companion.We believe Buttercup would thrive best in a home with a large yard or some land, or with an experienced owner who understands and can manage reactive dog behaviors.
