Meet Buddy, a small, young Australian Shepherd with a big personality and a spark of mischief. Still early in life, he’s all curiosity, eager for any new adventure you’ll throw his way. Those keen eyes and non-stop tail wags are Buddy’s way of saying he’s ready to make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and help you see things with fresh eyes. This little guy is guaranteed to add a dose of energy to your home. Picture games of fetch in the yard, quick walks on a cool evening, or napping together when he’s finally tired out. Buddy’s just beginning to show his true colors, so adopters get the rare chance to see his personality bloom in real time. His roots as an Australian Shepherd hint at future loyalty and smarts—traits that make for an outstanding sidekick. Buddy’s birthday lands on April 1st, making him an Aries, which tracks perfectly for a dog who leads with enthusiasm and courage. Adoption meetings must happen in person at Ozarks Pet Rescue in West Plains, MO, so everyone feels sure about the match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
