Buddy Aka Boogie is a happy, high-energy dog who loves to play and needs a family that can match his enthusiasm. Now about seven years old, Buddy missed out on early training but picks things up fast—he already knows "give me paw" and responds to "no" as he gets used to household routines. He’s a strong puller and needs continued work on a leash. Buddy gets along well with other dogs and would be delighted to play with them around the clock, though he sometimes gets protective about his food or toys if other animals are near, so he’s used to eating in his crate. He has no issues chewing; toys are fair game, but people’s things are not. Buddy doesn’t always signal when he needs to go out and does best with frequent potty breaks. At night, he sleeps anywhere he likes but usually chooses to be close to his foster mom. A fenced yard with room to run would be ideal. Because of his size and mouthy play style, Buddy isn’t suited for homes with young children; teens 14 and older are a better fit. He lives with cats at his foster home but tends to play too rough with them, so a cat-free home is safer. Buddy loves his people and thrives with attention, learning quickly and eager to show off for the right adopter. Fun fact: Buddy is an Aquarius, known for being lively, friendly, and a bit quirky.
