Buttercup is a 12 lb, 5.5 year old red dachshund. She protects those she loves, is doggie door trained, house trained, and loves to cuddle on the couch. Once she gets to know you, she is the sweetest dog. She has a slightly nervous temperament until she gets to know you, but is the sweetest dog on the planet after she is comfortable with you. Buttercup lives with one other dachshund right now, and would do better if there were another dog around to help her feel comfortable. She is heartworm negative and on preventive medicine each month. She just needs an owner who is willing to love her and give her a better life.
