Meet Buddy! Say hello to Buddy, a handsome Mini Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle soul! Born on 7/8/25, Buddy weighs about 22 pounds and is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations-he's ready to find a loving home to call his own. Buddy is the more laid-back of the pair and loves the simple things in life-like his favorite lamb chop stuffies and cozy snuggles. While he does have puppy energy, he's definitely more of a relaxed companion compared to his sister. He can be shy, especially at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality really starts to shine. Buddy loves giving kisses and being close to his people. Like Honey Bee, he may jump up in excitement, but with a little training and consistency, he'll learn quickly. Buddy is crate familiar and pad trained, though he'll need continued guidance with both routines. He walks fairly well on a harness but would benefit from more leash training to build confidence. He does well with other dogs when given proper introductions, and he's been around kids-though due to his timid nature, a calmer home with older children may be best. Cats don't seem to bother him much-he mostly just observes them. Buddy can be especially nervous around men, so he'll need a patient and understanding home willing to help him feel safe and secure. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants snuggles, toys, and a little reassurance, Buddy could be your perfect match.
