Buddy is a 5-year-old neutered male Bassett/Lab mix who lost his home after his family was evicted. Now he's eager for a new start. Buddy is gentle and sweet, gets along well with other dogs, but likes to guard his favorite toys, so he'd be happiest as the only dog in the house. He has polite manners around livestock like goats, chickens, and ducks, and does just fine with cats. Buddy's biggest joy is a game of fetch—if you have a ball, you can win him over in no time. He can be a bit unsure around men at first, but a ball in hand helps him warm up. He's a bit on the chunky side, so he'll need regular exercise and someone willing to help him stick to a healthy diet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
