About Animalname
Dogs – Yes!
Cats – No cats for Buddy
Kids – An adult-only home would be wonderful
Buddy is pure joy in a dog body. His foster says, "He is just loving every second of life. Hopping on the couch to snuggle is one of his favorite things, and he always finds a way to be close to you." He's smart, silly, and a total cuddle connoisseur who loves being near the people he adores. If he gets a little clingy, a simple "go to bed" or "go lay down" sends him happily to his own comfy spot nearby.
He's playful and energetic in a way that's easy to enjoy. Buddy loves running around the yard, playing fetch, and taking breaks to relax beside you. He's quick to learn and a total character, knowing cues like sit, lay/down, stay, back up, leave it, go lay down, and speak. His little "arrrruffs" and playful huffs when asked to follow a command are impossible not to love.
Buddy is gentle, well-mannered, housebroken, and fully crate trained. He's excellent at being home alone and is not destructive. Loud noises or stern tones can make him nervous, but with calm guidance, he quickly relaxes. He's also dog-friendly and has done well with calm, respectful pups. If there's another dog in your home, we'll help with a meet and greet to make sure it's the right match. Buddy thrives with patient introductions and would be happiest in a relaxed adult or family home. He balances his playful side with his affectionate one. He loves zooming around outdoors, enjoying a car ride, or engaging in a game of fetch, but he's just as happy curling up beside you for a cozy cuddle.
Buddy is a lovable, silly, and devoted companion who is ready to brighten someone's days. Ask about Buddy today and see if he's the perfect addition to your family.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
