About Buzz

Buzz is a medium-sized, energetic pup who thrives with structure and clear boundaries. He has a ton of energy—if he doesn’t have ways to burn it off, he gets restless. Buzz takes some time to warm up to new people, but he’s highly food motivated, so snacks help speed the process. Once he trusts you, he's deeply loyal. He’d be happiest in a home with a fenced yard for plenty of fetch, or with someone active who enjoys long walks, hikes, or even agility and scent work. Buzz gets along with social dogs (though he sometimes plays rough) and is reported to ignore cats, even letting them rub against him. He’s house trained and very treat-driven, which makes training both fun and effective. He’s currently at a board-and-train to polish his manners and social skills, especially in new or stimulating environments; his new family should plan to continue follow-up sessions with his trainer. Buzz needs an adopter who can match his energy and offer the structure he craves—preferably a home without young kids right now. Once bonded, his loyalty doesn’t waver. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
