Buddy arrived at the rescue after a rough patch—his former family gave him up, and he spent over a month stuck in a crate at a vet clinic before making his way to Minnesota. Despite everything, Buddy has bounced back, but he needs stability and structure. He’s a Beagle with a short, tricolor coat, and his natural instinct is to explore. He has a tendency to go on "adventures" to neighboring properties, so a fenced yard is essential. Buddy thrives on routine. He enjoys being outside and loves his leash walks, but he also needs plenty of patience while adapting to a new environment. He’s house trained and neutered, with vaccinations up to date. Previous food guarding issues have been worked through with training, but he still needs an experienced, attentive adopter. Buddy does best as a single dog, though he gets along with cats and prefers the company of larger female dogs if there’s ever a housemate. He needs someone willing to invest time and compassion as he adjusts—ideally a home where someone is present most of the day. If you’re willing to give Buddy those first patient weeks and a steady routine, he’ll reward you with loyalty and quiet companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
