More about *BUTTERCUP

Meet Buttercup (A568802)! ??A 1 year old, female, 40 lb, American Pitbull Terrier Meet Buttercup: A Gentle Soul Finding Her Brave!Some dogs crash through the front door, but Buttercup prefers to read the room first. She was easy to leash up, and eager to get outside to potty. She’s a `thinker` who is looking for a foster or adopter to help her realize that the world is a much kinder place than she once thought.???? Greetings:When you first meet Buttercup, you’ll see her beautiful, watchful eyes taking everything in. She’s a little unsure of the world right now and might take a few minutes to decide if you’re a friend. At first, she might take a treat gently and trot off to enjoy it in her `safe space` but don't let that fool you!Once she realizes you’re the keeper of the snacks (and the kindness), her walls start to crumble. Within minutes, she’ll decide it’s perfectly okay to snack right by your sideWhy We Love Her-A Total Sweetheart: Once Buttercup feels safe, she transforms into a lean-in-for-pets kind of girl. She is incredibly gentle and has a heart of pure goldSmart & Eager: She already knows her `Sit` command! She wants to learn and please; she just needs a patient teacherPlayful Spirit: Once she gets her initial `zoomies` out and burns off some nervous energy, she settles into a lovely, affectionate companionThe `Trust` Reward: There is nothing more rewarding than the moment Buttercup decides to trust you. Seeing her tail start to wag and her ears relax is the best feeling in the worldPlay notes: Push Pull play style. Steerable very playful.*Buttercup gets very excited on leash when she sees other dogs and wants to play!? Please note: The shelter can be a stressful and scary place, and a dog’s behavior here may not fully reflect how they’ll blossom once they feel safe and decompressed at home.Buttercup is available to foster or adopt at Prince George’s County Animal Shelter located at 3750 Brown Station Road Upper Marlboro, MDReel-https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18nnCUHvpb/
