Finemess "Buddy" Adult Dog (9+ months) Personality: Mellow Playful Sweet Slightly Shy Buddy is a truly special boy with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. While he may be a little skeptical when meeting new people, all it takes is a little patience-and maybe some chicken-to win him over. Once you've earned his trust, Buddy blossoms into a happy, tail-wagging companion who absolutely loves attention and affection. Energy Level: Moderate - enjoys playtime and activity but also appreciates downtime and cuddles. Favorite Things: Playing fetch Tummy rubs Car rides Treats (especially chicken!) Training & Habits: Buddy was doing well with house training, but is currently having occasional accidents due to medication (prednisone). With consistency and once his medication is adjusted, he's expected to get back on track. Crate trained (previously crated in the kitchen) Quiet overall, but does have a loud bark when excited Still working on leash skills Good With: Dogs: Very well Cats: Unknown Kids: Unknown Diet: Purina One & Freshpet Ideal Home: Buddy would do best in a home that isn't overly chaotic but still active enough to keep him engaged. He's perfect for someone who understands that a shy dog just needs a little time to feel safe. In return, you'll get a loyal, loving companion who will brighten your days with his playful energy and sweet nature. A Note from His Foster: "Buddy is a sweet and wonderful dog who just wants to be loved. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he's the happiest boy and so much fun to be around."
