About Buddy

Buddy is a 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and Pit Bull mix with a real personality. He’s notorious for his love of tug of war—especially when it involves the sofa. Good natured, clever, and always ready for a game, Buddy thrives in a home where his playful antics are seen as part of his charm. He is house trained and neutered, so he’s well past the puppy phase, but don’t expect him to shy away from mischief. Buddy gets along with cats, but he’s not the best choice for a home with other dogs or young children. He appreciates structure, routine, and someone who understands his fun-loving, independent streak. He’s currently in Port Angeles, WA, waiting for the right person to appreciate both his smarts and his furniture-moving energy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
