About Buoy

Buoy, born in September 2017, arrived at the rescue after his time ran out at a kill shelter in San Jacinto. At about 8 years old, he’s a small Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing in around 9 pounds. Buoy is sweet-natured and easy to have around. He’s friendly and enjoys company, but he’s not the type to beg for constant affection. With other dogs, Buoy gets along well and prefers a laid-back, drama-free social scene. His personality is gentle and low-key, making him a good match for someone wanting a calm but companionable dog. Buoy does not get along with cats, so a feline-free home suits him best. As a Virgo, Buoy brings a practical, go-with-the-flow energy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
