Buttercup is a beautiful petite Shepherd mix that has had very minimal socialization. She is warming up to the shelter staff and now enjoys walks and affection. Buttercup is great with cats and absolutely loves other dogs. She really needs to be in a home with canine siblings. Because of her extreme shyness, she should be in a household without children. Buttercup is a striking lady who is looking for a very patient adopter, who will take the time to get to know her. Experience dog savvy owners would be best, as she will require training and socialization. We think that Buttercup would do well off-leash once she is bonded, though that could take a while. In the meantime, she will need to be leash walked, as she jumps 6 foot fences with ease.
