Princess Buttercup (named for the Princess Bride character) is a sweet and gentle girl that was left at a shelter by an owner that didn't deserve her.  Her heart was broken by the abandonment but the loving care of her foster parents, Tom and Andi, has restored her faith in humans.  A good grooming (we will get new photos) and a dental and she is ready to rock and roll.

There is a wonderful lady in Colorado Springs that just lost her Sheltie.  And we are hoping that Buttercup will be her next best friend.  We will update the information as things progress.  We will alert Santa in plenty of time if all goes well.

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
