About Buddy

Buddy is a one-and-a-half-year-old Great Pyrenees and Labrador Retriever mix with a free-spirited background. He grew up on a farm, used to roaming at will, and was surrendered because his family could no longer care for him. Now he's hoping to find someone patient and ready to guide him through basic commands and house manners. Buddy thrives on long walks and responds to structure—he's still working on routine and learning what life as a companion dog means. He gets along well with other dogs and children, so he would fit into many types of households willing to invest in his training. Because of his mix and farm dog origins, he'll do best with space and regular enrichment. A fresh start and some direction are what he needs. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
