About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a 1-year-old Husky/Pyrenees/Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix who weighs around 79 lbs. Buddy was found wandering as a stray, going door to door in search of help, but his easygoing attitude never wavered. He’s extremely friendly and loves being around people. Expect Buddy to show his enthusiasm in big ways—he’s working on keeping all four paws on the ground and learning the ropes of leash walking and staying out of trouble on countertops. Buddy’s playful streak shows through in everything he does, from running around the yard with whatever toy or household item he can find, to wrestling with other dogs. He plays pretty hard, so homes with small dogs aren’t the best fit. He is crate trained and hasn’t had any accidents indoors. Buddy needs an active home with a securely fenced yard and another playful dog to keep him company. He’s fully up to date on vaccinations and neutered. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
