About Buddy
Meet Buddy, a lovable 10-year-old hound/shepherd mix who still has plenty of pep for fetch and fun. This sweet, senior gentleman adores his toys, especially his cherished ball, and will happily spend his day chasing after it—even if he forgets to bring it back every time. Buddy thrives as the only dog in the home, but his big, bold personality will easily fill your house with joy and warmth. He’s smart and well-mannered, knowing all his basic commands like sit, down, wait, shake, and speak—and if you ask for his “inside voice,” prepare for the cutest little whisper of a bark. Buddy strikes a great balance between playful and affectionate. He can be found entertaining himself with toys or curled up beside you for a good snuggle session. A plush bed and some loving company is all he asks for. Gentle with children and fully house trained, Buddy is ready to bring his loyal heart to a family who will treasure him as much as he treasures his favorite ball. Born 12/17/2015, this makes Buddy a Sagittarius—the sign known for optimism and a zest for adventure. Give this good boy the happy retirement he deserves. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
