Meet Buddy, a charming soul waiting for a nurturing heart to show him what love really is! 🥰 Out of a family that started with ten, Buddy stands tall at around 50-60 pounds, bursting with the energy of youth at just one year old! Although we think he’s a delightful mix possibly influenced by his golden-coated dad, Tonka, his unique charm is all his own! 🌟 Buddy is on a quest to find a foster home—someone special who can shower him with TLC while preparing him for his forever home. But let’s be honest here—Buddy is a little diamond in the rough! He’s on his journey of self-discovery, learning about the world for the very first time. He’s never worn a collar or felt the gentle guidance of a leash, so some basic training is definitely on the agenda! 🚶‍♂️ But fear not, because with love and patience, he will blossom into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. 🐾 Buddy is a socialite at heart! He adores everyone he meets, even cats! 🐱 While he might initially be a bit shy around new dogs—partly due to not having a proper introduction—his heart is ready to learn how to be a dog. With the rescue’s help, you’ll guide him through gentle introductions to other furry friends, ensuring he feels secure and loved. In addition to all that, Buddy is crate-trained and has already claimed his title as a housebroken superstar! 🎉 Helping him flourish is going to be a rewarding journey for anyone willing to step up. Potential adopters, listen closely: This loving boy needs vetting, grooming, and neutering before he’s fully adoptable. But here’s the delightful twist: all foster homes have first dibs on adoption! So why not spread love while making a big difference? ❤️ Remember, potential fosters must live within an hour of Fremont, OH, or ideally in Ottawa, Sandusky, or Seneca County. Are you the special someone ready to love Buddy and help him shine? Let the journey of love begin! Apply through the Buddy App today!
