Meet Buddy, a 3½-year-old Dalmatian/Lab mix on the lookout for a loving home. He stands out with his crisp black and white spots and a steady mix of loyalty and quiet warmth. Buddy is partially deaf, so communication will take a bit of creativity and patience—but for the right person, this just makes your connection stronger. He’s spent over a year in the shelter, and all he wants now is a quiet place to settle in and bond deeply with someone kind. Buddy does well with some dogs, but the reality is he does best as the only dog in the home. He’s protective of his people and looks for someone who can offer a calm environment and a steady routine. If you appreciate a low-key companion who’d rather curl at your feet than run wild at the park, Buddy may be a perfect fit. His $50 reduced adoption fee covers vaccinations, rabies, worming, microchip, and he's already neutered. Ready to make a change for both you and him? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
