Buddy is a gentle, sweet Lab/Mastiff mix who’s lived through more than most dogs his age. After being shot in his hind legs early on, he’s shown an incredible ability to stay loving, calm, and affectionate. Buddy enjoys spending time with people, especially kids, and gets along well with other dogs. Even though his hind legs can ache a bit, he’s content with short walks, gentle play, and especially the chance to splash around in a pond or pool. Buddy needs a calm, understanding home. He does best with families committed to giving him a peaceful environment where he won’t be pushed beyond his comfort—no roughhousing or lots of jumping for this guy. Someone with experience caring for dogs who have special needs is a plus. If you want a loyal, affectionate companion who will thrive with patience and gentle care, Buddy could be your perfect match.
