Meet Buddy, a one-year-old Lab mix with an abundance of energy and a passion for play. Fetch tops his list of favorite activities, and he thrives around people who are up for engaging fun. Buddy has a lot of spirit and eagerly shares his cheerful outlook with those willing to join in. He can get a bit mouthy during high-energy moments, but thanks to dedicated work with staff and trainers, he’s steadily learning better manners. Structure and consistency are helping him gain confidence and develop impulse control. Although the shelter can be stressful and sometimes brings out his anxiety, Buddy’s affectionate and sweet side is undeniable. He needs patience from his people and a calm environment to truly settle in. Buddy gets along well with other dogs, but he does not do well with children. He requires a child-free home where he can fully relax and be himself. Buddy will thrive with adopters who are committed to ongoing training and willing to help him grow into his best self.
