Button🔗

Notes from listing

Button is a 7‑pound Silky Terrier with a huge heart and a brand‑new outlook on life. After spending her early years raising puppies, she finally got her freedom last summer - and she's been making up for lost time ever since. Her foster mom calls her Indi because this little girl zooms up and down the hallway every morning like an Indy race car, and honestly, it fits her perfectly. Button is a classic Velcro Dog. She sticks close to her person, checks in constantly, and wants to be part of everything. She enjoys meeting new people and socializing, but she always circles back to make sure her human is okay. She's protective in a sweet, loyal way - she doesn't want anyone getting too close to her favorite person without her supervision. She has discovered the joy of play and loves spending time with other dogs. She went camping for the first time, took a boat ride, and even visited a private dog park where she sniffed every inch of the place. She's also learned about treats (huge fan), pup cups (even bigger fan), and the magic of a tasty meal topper. She's a great car passenger and loves going along for adventures. Button is potty trained with only rare accidents, crate trained, and wonderful on a leash. Loud noises and chaotic environments can make her anxious, and she'll pace until she feels safe again. She's skittish with sudden sounds and can be an escape artist if startled, so a watchful adopter is important. She's best suited for a calm home with older or considerate kids. She does have ongoing medical needs and will require regular veterinary monitoring, but she handles her routine well and thrives with structure and reassurance. At the end of the day, Indi is happiest curled up on the couch, snuggled next to her person, drifting off to sleep knowing she's safe and loved. She's up for almost anything - as long as her human is right there with her. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, goofy little companion who will adore you with her whole heart, Button is ready to be your tiny shadow and adventure buddy. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
