My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Buttercup is a very friendly piggy. She likes to hang out in her hideys and
hang out with Blossom and Bubbles.
Buttercup's favorite things are:
Eating bell pepper, hanging out in a hidey, and munching on hay!
But she's not so into:
Being picked up, while she enjoys cuddling, she doesn't appreciate being
picked up.
Her special talents are:
Finding the perfect hidey.
Her perfect day would be:
Lounging in one of her hideys, eating hay, and hanging out with Bubbles and
Blossom.
If Buttercup was an ice cream flavor, she would be:
Cookie Dough
Important facts about Buttercup:
Buttercup is a huge fan of hideys, especially rainbow tunnels and fleece hides!

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are a bonded trio. They have to be adopted together and are not available for separate individual adoption.

If you are interested in adopting Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup , please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
