About Buddy
Dogs – Meet & Greet
Cats – No cats for Buddy
Kids – An adult-only home would be wonderful
Buddy is one of those dogs you don't forget. He's striking, smart, and full of life. Whether he's proudly trotting around with his favorite stuffed toy or showing off his latest trick, he's always doing something that will make you smile. This boy is athletic, playful, loyal to his people, and he's ready to be someone's best friend.
He's been thriving with training and loves showing off what he knows. He's the kind of dog who loves a challenge and lives for moments where he can learn, explore, and connect. Long walks, games of fetch, puzzle toys, and learning new skills? He's all in.
Buddy does appreciate a little personal space around his food and toys. He's not trying to be difficult; he just wants to know he can enjoy his favorite things without being bothered. He's looking for an adult-only home where people understand dog body language and are happy to give him the structure and encouragement he needs to feel safe and confident.
He's not a fan of cats, and if there's another dog in the home, we'll help make sure it's a good match. Buddy does best with calm, easygoing canine friends who respect his space.
At his core, Buddy is a loving, loyal dog who just wants someone to believe in him. He's full of fun, full of potential, and ready to be your one and only!

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.
