About Button! β
πΎ MEET BUTTON β Our Tiny Brindle Girl! π€πΎ
Button is the smallest of our girls and has the sweetest little brindle-and-white face. She may be tiny compared with her brothers and sisters, but she has a huge heart β and an even bigger bond with her doggy friends. π₯ΉπΆ
Button is the most timid of the girls and currently takes her confidence from the other dogs around her. She can be reserved when meeting new people and new environments, so she needs an adopter who understands that confidence doesn't happen overnight.
Once she feels safe, Button is an affectionate, gentle little character who really looks to other dogs for reassurance. For this reason, Button must go to a home with a friendly, desexed male dog who can help show her that the world isn't such a scary place. β€οΈ
Her ideal person will be patient, dog-savvy and happy to give her time, structure and plenty of positive experiences.

πΆ A LITTLE ABOUT HER BACKGROUND
Button and her four siblings have had a very sheltered start to life. They spent their early months living indoors together with their mum and have had limited exposure to the outside world, different people, environments and everyday experiences.
They are now learning that the world is a much bigger place β and Button is one of the pups who will need the most gentle encouragement.
They appear to be toilet trained and are clean in their kennels overnight. They're still discovering things like toys and new environments and will benefit enormously from positive puppy training, obedience classes and continued socialisation.
All five pups are littermates and have always lived together. They will not be adopted together, as we want each puppy to develop their own independence and avoid littermate-related behavioural issues.

β€οΈ IMPORTANT ADOPTION INFORMATION
Button will be desexed before going to her new home.
There are no walk-ins. Please call the pound first to book a meet-and-greet.
If you're travelling to meet Button, please note that payment to hold her is not taken over the phone. A meet-and-greet must take place at the pound first. If the meeting goes well, we can then proceed with the adoption process.
If you have an existing dog, your dog must be desexed and up to date with vaccinations and will need to attend the required meet-and-greet at the pound. πβ€οΈ
Button isn't looking for a perfect home β she's looking for a patient one. With the right person and the right doggy role model beside her, this little girl has so much potential to blossom. πΈ
