Buddy is a friendly, affectionate and quiet 5 year old Shihtzu, who is curious and has a strong sense of independence. Buddy is a very loving dog and enjoys getting kisses and affection from his human friends. He can be a bit timid and shy around new people. Buddy does have a birth defect to his right front paw. It stays bent sideways but it deters him from nothing! Buddy would make a wonderful companion for a family with older children or someone living by themselves. Come meet our little Buddy!
