Buddy 3848 is a cheerful, lively Hound who wants everyone to know when he’s in the room. At about 5 years old, he makes his presence known with a bold hello and isn’t shy about seeking attention. He’s lived with another dog, but details on their relationship are slim, so any new canine friends should be introduced formally. Buddy is known to play well with dogs he meets, yet can be a bit particular—he might get loud if another dog acts up, so dog parks aren’t his scene. He could live with another dog, provided a proper introduction is done ahead of time. Cuddles and butt scratches are top on Buddy’s wish list. He’s affectionate and enjoys human attention, but he can be selective about new people. Sometimes he’ll bark and rush toward strangers, though with patience (and some treats), he’ll usually warm up. Because of this, everyone in your household will need to meet him before adoption to ensure a good fit. Buddy knows basic obedience—sit, down, shake—and walks smoothly on a leash. He’d likely do best in a quieter home with older, calm children, and not a ton of people coming and going. When visitors come, a slow intro outside helps. Ready to meet your new best friend?
