Introducing Dude, a heartwarming companion just waiting for the right family to come along and shower him with love! This charming pup was surrendered because his previous owners faced some tough challenges in providing the care he deserves. Dude is on a journey to recover from a ruptured ligament and will need TPLO surgery on his rear left leg, but don’t let that dampen your spirits! Dude is an absolute sweetheart who brings so much joy wherever he goes. He’s a well-mannered fellow, knowing how to sit, give high fives, and follow commands like a champ. This delightful canine loves to be surrounded by his people, often following them around like a loyal shadow. With just a sprinkle of separation anxiety, his affection knows no bounds—if you tell him to stop licking, he gets creative, licking the air or the walls instead! He enjoys cuddles with his foster brother, showcasing his gentle and loving nature in their adorable photos together. 🥰 Dude is not just all about love; he's also a pro at potty training and crate training. However, he dreams of a cozy spot right in your bed! While he spends his days lounging with his foster brother when his human goes to work, he thrives on food motivation, loves his daily strolls, and is excellent on stairs. Due to some leg sensitivities, he requires a home with a fenced yard, preferably with limited stairs for easy access. Plus, a furry friend to enjoy cuddles and playtime with would be ideal! He may need some help getting into bed and can only be lifted carefully from his belly, but with a bit of patience and a lot of love, Dude will blossom beautifully. 🎉 He’s the kind of dog that will fill a lucky family’s home with laughter and warmth. So why wait? Apply today to adopt Dude through the Buddy App and make this delightful dog a cherished part of your home! Stay tuned for more on Dude after his upcoming vet exam! 🐾
