Meet Buttons - a devoted little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart
We don't believe Buttons had the best start in life, but what truly defines him is how far he's come. With patience, consistency, and extensive professional training at the Zoom Room, Buttons has been a dedicated and enthusiastic student who has made truly amazing progress. His foster family and trainers alike are incredibly proud of the confident, capable dog he continues to become.
Buttons is a Shih Tzu who loves life's simple pleasures: car rides, relaxed walks, and hot dogs, which are absolutely his favorite treat. He enjoys spending time with his people and thrives with clear communication, calm leadership, and predictable routines. Buttons builds trust thoughtfully and at his own pace, and once he feels safe, he is deeply loyal and affectionate.
He also handles grooming beautifully and does great with Miss Lisa-taking his baths like a champ and even handing out kisses during grooming sessions. It's a wonderful example of how well he does when he feels safe and supported.
Buttons does best with experienced adopters who understand reactive dogs and appreciate the value of continued structure and positive reinforcement. He feels most comfortable in a calm, adult-only home where his boundaries are respected and expectations are clear. A peaceful, predictable environment helps him remain confident and successful.
During thunderstorms or fireworks, Buttons may seek comfort and reassurance, often happily curling up in your lap. He requires regular eye drops as part of his daily care and takes them like a champ.
Buttons is not the right fit for every home-but for the right person, he will be an incredibly rewarding companion. With patience, understanding, and the skills he's worked so hard to develop, Buttons is ready to continue thriving in a loving forever home.
Buttons's adoption donation is $425, and he is being fostered in the Central Ohio area. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning.
