🌟 Meet Buddy! This splendid 11-month-old Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix is here to steal your heart and become your adventurous companion! Weighing in at about 45 pounds, this handsome lad is not just a pretty face; he's a bundle of energy waiting to find a forever home. Buddy's backstory might make you chuckle! He initially landed in our hands because he just couldn't resist the temptation of his neighbor's chickens in Tennessee—let's just say, clucking sounds were a little too enticing! 🐔😄 Buddy is the perfect blend of friendly and active. His foster family describes him as a young dynamo who's always ready to roll—swimming, running, or even rearranging fallen branches on the farm! He's not just busy; he's a diligent little helper always eager to assist in whatever way he can. He loves being outdoors, exploring the woods, and keeping an eye on the goats and every person on the property. With a personality that shines brighter than the sun, Buddy is just itching to join a family who enjoys an active lifestyle. 🌲🏃‍♂️ Now, here’s the scoop: due to his curious nature and past experiences, Buddy would flourish in a home free from chickens and cats, as he has a bit of a prey drive. But oh, boy, if you’re into adventures, this guy is sure to be your new best friend, always ready for outdoor escapades! 🌞 Remember, Buddy is currently out of state but won’t require any extra travel costs when he makes his way to New England shortly. The fabulous long-distance adoption process involves having a heartwarming chat with his foster family down south to learn more about this happy-go-lucky pup. You're joining in a mission of happiness—after all, about 90% of our dogs are happily adopted long-distance! So, if Buddy sounds like the loving bundle of joy you're looking for, don’t wait! You must fill out an adoption application through the Buddy App to give this fantastic dog the loving home he deserves. Apply today and let the adventures begin! 🥳
