Rescued from the streets, Comet, also known as Buddy, thrives in a loving environment and has made remarkable progress in his foster care. Comet gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine sibling to play and snuggle with. He has a moderate energy level, loves to zoom around, and has shown no food aggression. This sweet boy is also good with cats and children, though it’s best if kids are at least 10 years old and can understand animal behavior.
