Buttercup is a 5.5 year old female, sesame Shiba Inu. Follow her Facebook album!
Hello everyone, my name is now Buttercup, which was voted the most popular name for me by my fans! I’m one of the Valentine pups from a PA breeding facility. I am a 5.5 yr old, 18 lb, sesame female Shiba Inu. Another rescue learned that I was being released and contacted DC SIR to help me. I had a long three-hour ride to my new foster parents’ home. I was a bit nervous, but I did really well on the ride. As soon as I got to my new foster home, I was greeted by two very happy DC SIR alums, Jasmine and Daisy, which made me very comfortable. If they are happy, I know I’ll be happy too. After a good walk, I explored all the nooks and crannies of my new foster home and enjoyed all kinds of boiled chicken. They offered me some treats, but I haven’t gotten used to eating those yet. The next day, I was willing to eat some raw food and I loved it! I can walk on a leash pretty well. I’m still getting used to it, but I just follow Jasmine and Daisy. The loud noises do startle me, like a garage door opening/closing, or my foster dad dropping something. I trust people enough to be picked up. I love rubs and a good chest scratch. I’m starting to play with my new fursisters. They taught me how to do a Shiba bump like a pro. We people-watch through the window together. I slept in a crate all night. I’m pretty comfortable in there. When I’m not in my crate or playing with my foster fursisters, I like to hang out on the couch and relax. Once I have my spay and vetting, I’ll be available for adoption. If you think your place would make a great furever home for me, please let DC SIR know!
