Buttons

“Hi there! My name is Buttons. I’m a 17 pound terrier mix. I hear people say I’m a cute girl, cute as a “Button”! My person can’t say for sure how old I am for sure as she adopted me from a shelter 5 years ago. From what she was told then, she says I’m about 11 years old now.

“I have lived with quite a few different dogs and I’m very good with them. However,, I will bark at dogs when I’m on leash. That’s what we do unless we’re trained not to! Even then, I may get excited when I see other dogs. It is fun to meet new dogs! I’ve lived with cats but I really shouldn’t as I like to bother them. I also like to chase squirrels. When the front door is opened, I’ll take off running. This isn’t safe for me! I need a securely fenced yard and a home where I can be watched for escapes.

“Since I was adopted, I haven’t had much vet care. Yes, I’m up to date on my vaccines but I’m missing a lot of teeth and haven’t had a senior check up. I need an adopter who can and will afford to take care of me. I need regular grooming and regular vet care. More than likely, I need a dental. Can you imagine if you didn’t brush your teeth EVER or see a dentist for cleanings?

“Recently my person had to move from her house to a condo. Condo living is not for me! I will bark and that’s causing problems, people are complaining. I was used to a home with a fenced yard where I could get out and burn off some energy. I’d love a home with someone who was able to get me out for regular walks. I can manage stairs fine and appreciate a potty break at least every 5 hours.

“I’m a sweet, very loving girl who can be snuggly. My person calls me a Love “Button”! Surely there’s someone out there who can give me my forever home,  love and appreciate me for the rest of my days?”
