Buddy is the definition of a true companion—warm, outgoing, and eager for a fresh start. After being abandoned by his previous owner and left tied up outside in Detroit, Buddy overcame heartworm thanks to committed rescue work. He’s now healthy and ready for a loving home. Buddy thrives around people and brings a bright, easygoing energy to the house. He’s great with other dogs and enjoys their company, but he doesn’t do well with cats, so cat-free homes are best. Buddy is as content being your only pet as he is sharing his space with another friendly dog. His short, gray and white coat is easy to care for, and at a large size, he’ll bring just the right mix of presence and snuggles. Born in late May, Buddy is a curious, social Gemini—this guy brings plenty of playfulness to every day. He’s already neutered, house trained, and fully vaccinated. If you want a loyal dog who’s put his rough start behind him, Buddy is waiting in Detroit, MI, ready for a second chance. Click apply to start the adoption process.
