Meet Buff, a magnificent 76-pound bundle of love born on October 23, 2019! 🎉 Buff is not just any golden retriever; he’s an AKC registered superstar with a certified pedigree that would make any dog parent proud. This handsome gentleman has gone through all testing for breeding and has now been neutered, a transformation from the puppy mill environment where he no longer fit in. Buff lives for companionship! He’s glued to his foster mom's side, following her everywhere like the loyal sidekick he is. 🦸‍♀️💕 Buff thrives in a calmer setting, getting along beautifully with quieter dogs. All he truly wants is to be near you, enjoy the simple pleasures of life by your side, and soak up as much love and pets as you can give! Now, Buff is in search of a forever home. Ideally, he needs someone who is around more often than not. Because of his background, a physical fence is a must—it's just part of ensuring he feels secure. This heartwarming pup is only looking for a little love and a cozy space to call his own. 😊 It’s important to note that Buff has a few health matters we’re addressing. When he gets excited, he tends to cough, and after a thorough vet check-up, it was discovered that he has a nodule and some inflammation in his lungs. But don’t worry! He’s as brave as they come—armed with the strength of a golden retriever and a heart of gold. 💪❤️ A CT scan revealed a nodule near his spinal cord, and to know more about it, he will need a needle biopsy. Yet, everything else about his health looks wonderful, and we remain hopeful for the best news to come! Right now, we do have a family interested in welcoming Buff into their home, and we’re keeping fingers crossed that it leads to his forever family. But if Buff's charm has captivated your heart, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to adopt this loving golden retriever! Don’t miss the chance to offer him the loving home he deserves! 🌟🦮
