In Brief:

Buttercup is a 15-pound chihuahua mix with big eyes, a bigger heart, and a quiet love for adult companionship. She’s crate-trained, potty-trained, and ready to leave rescue life behind for good — if only someone will give her the chance.

There is a small dog with a big personality that has been waiting far too long for her forever family. Buttercup, a 15-pound chihuahua mix with soulful eyes and a heart full of love, is still looking for that special someone to call her own.

At first glance, Buttercup may seem like just another rescue pup. But spend a few minutes with her, and you’ll quickly realize she’s anything but ordinary. Crate trained, fully potty trained, and content to quietly hang out with her favorite humans, Buttercup is the perfect low-maintenance companion for an adult household.

There’s something special about Buttercup.

While Buttercup is loyal and affectionate with adults, she’s not a fan of children and would thrive in a calm, kid-free home. Her ideal adopter? Someone who appreciates a peaceful lifestyle and is looking for a devoted companion with a gentle spirit.

Despite her loving nature and good manners, Buttercup has been in rescue for quite some time—often overlooked for younger or flashier pups. But her foster team knows that the right home is out there.

“She’s been waiting patiently,” the team says. “Now we’re just hoping someone will see what we see—a truly special dog with so much love to give.”

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who’s past the puppy chaos and ready to settle in by your side, Buttercup may just be the one.

Ready to meet her? Buttercup can be found at upcoming weekend Road Dogg Rescue adoption events or by contacting the team directly through Facebook Messenger.
