Hi Marleen, I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Buttercup's first day here. The pic that's a little far away is Buttercup on her new bed that I just bought today. She's even happier now that Mark is home!
UPDATE: Our little girl whose new nickname is Butters will be going home on Friday. She met her new parents and older 4 legged sister and it was a love fest all the way around. I'm just thrilled to have found the perfect family for her. What wonderful people to give a 5 year old another chance to love and be loved again. We all need more people like them!
What a little charmer Buttercup is! She is a very calm, sweet, low maintenance girl and the all she wants is to be with you and get a few pats on the head. I don't think that is too much to ask, do you?
She is extremely laid back and might even call her a little lazy. She likes to go for short walks and then turns around and says, "Ok, let's go home now!" She would be a wonderful companion to someone older. She has very nice manners, she only comes up on the sofa if invited.
Buttie is happy to just snuggle next to you and snooze while you read or watch TV. So, my little girl needs a family who wants a sweet little companion dog to take bye-byes in the car, sit with you the sofa when you watch TV and just keep company in general. She follows me around from room to room, but when my husband comes home she really smiles! She sits in front of him until he invites her up on the sofa to sit next to him. She comes up like a little lady and sits down to rest near him.
She had a home for 5 years and then they said they did not want her anymore and dropped her off at the Kent County SPCA.
They said she wasn't nice to the kids. SHE wasn't nice to the kids??? I believe it was the other way around. She is nervous around kids and I believe she was abused by them. She met our volunteer Willy and she was very sweet and kind with him since she could sense he is sweet and kind to animals.
Many families allow their young kids to be with dogs without watching them, they do tease the dogs behind their parents backs --- and then the dog gets fed up -- and they end up in the shelter! Grrrrr!
PLEASE NOTE: A fence is always mandatory - no exceptions. Be sure to read ALL our adoption policies prior to applying for a puppy/dog.
** If you do NOT agree with our adoption policies - please feel free to apply at a rescue that you do agree with.
If qualified by our adoption policies and you would like to apply online - you must first register on the website and await an e-mailed passcode. Once you have this info, you will be able to access our application.
Our adoption donation is $200 which is (1/2) of what we've actually spent to properly vet & spay/neuter each of our dogs. Adoption donation for any dog 5 years and up is $100.
All L&F dogs/pups have been:

Any dog/pup adopted from us must have a fenced in property either Physical or Petstop Electric Fence. We do not accept any other brand due to the high failure rate. The fence must be installed prior to us completing an adoption application. If you need an electric fence contact the company Petstop @ www.petstop.com
We abide by the Humane Association's recommendation. For ANY DOG adoption to have a relatively good chance of success, we believe a child should be 8 years old & up. We only adopt what we call our "BONA-FIDE Kid Lovers to families with children." Many dogs do not want to live with children. You should only adopt a dog who LOVES kids to be sure you are able to make a lifetime commitment to a dog.
We also expect that if no one is home all day, arrangements will be made to provide the dog with at least (1) "potty break" daily. This can be through a family member, neighbor, or Petsitting service. We know that it is impossible for us humans to "hold it" for 8-10 hours, so we do not want our "shelter kids" to be expected to do so.
We have several Petsitting service companies that we can recommend:
