About Buddy Boy
Buddy Boy is a 7-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix living in Zachary, LA. He weighs in around 75 pounds, and you’ll notice his calm, easygoing nature right away. He’s happiest lounging on a comfy bed but still enjoys a good walk or spirited play in the yard. Buddy Boy is truly quiet and peaceful—one of those dogs that blends right in without fuss, as long as he gets in enough belly rubs and treats. He’s house and crate trained, and listens well when you ask him to settle in his crate. He gets along well with other dogs and people, including children, though like many rescue dogs, he should be fed separately from other dogs due to food guarding. Buddy Boy appreciates a physically active home, but he doesn’t need constant activity—just daily exercise and room to stretch out. He will need a secure, fenced yard or enclosed area for safety. His ideal family can provide affectionate company and a stable routine, with plenty of indoor time; Buddy Boy must sleep inside. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Adopters with reliable vet histories and good heartworm prevention are preferred, but all thoughtful applicants will be considered. Buddy Boy has waited far too long—he’s that rare, overlooked gem who would thrive with someone ready to give him the family life he deserves. He’s even appeared on local news, hoping for that second look. Buddy Boy is in a private foster, so meetups are by approved application only. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
