About Buddy

Buddy is an 8-month-old, energetic mix of Black Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner, ready to become someone’s new adventure partner. His favorite activities include running, playing, and exploring the outdoors. Buddy needs an active person or family—think hiking, jogging, or a country lifestyle—who will include him in daily routines and outdoor fun. He thrives with people who match his energy and want a loyal companion for shared adventures, not just lounging on the sofa. Buddy does well with other dogs and has some crate experience, though he much prefers being free to roam the house. He’s house trained, with his manners still developing inside, but he has already completed a training course. While he is curious about cats, his history suggests he’d do best in a home without them. He’s fully vaccinated, neutered, and healthy, with all vet care up to date. If you’re searching for a devoted, athletic, and fun-loving dog, Buddy might just be your perfect match.
