Meet Nana Buttercup

☀️ Meet Nana Buttercup If you’re looking for a calm, gentle soul to share peaceful days with, Nana Buttercup may be your perfect match. This lovable 10-year-old bully mix is the definition of a sweet senior companion. At 60 lbs, she’s a quiet, easygoing girl who loves children, does wonderfully with other dogs, and has impeccable house manners. Her foster describes her as a total star student — both in the home and in her crate with no accidents! Nana Buttercup enjoys the simple things in life: soft beds, kind people, and soaking up the sunshine during a good sunbathing session. She did arrive with some mild alopecia and a little cloudiness in one eye, but we think it only adds to her charm and reminds us she’s lived a life full of stories and love to give. Senior dogs have a special kind of gratitude, and Nana Buttercup is no exception.

Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs.
