About Buddy Mcbee

Buddy McBee is a 3.5-year-old, large Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix who weighs in around 63 lbs and sports a thick, medium-length coat touched with black, blue merle, and tan. He’s in Corpus Christi, TX, but will travel to the right home anywhere in the United States or Canada. His start wasn’t the easiest—he arrived from a shelter background that left him unsure of people at first. Once he warms up, you’ll find a devoted, affectionate dog who thrives in safe, kind hands and reveals an eagerness to love. Buddy is house trained, knows his basic commands, and walks nicely on a leash. He’s even had professional training, including calm-muzzle work. He does best with calm, confident people, and he’s not a match for a first-time owner or a home with small kids. Another mellow, respectful dog companion is a plus, but nervous energy or chaos will unsettle him. This is a dog that requires patience and steadiness—go slow, let trust build, and Buddy will give back true loyalty. He’s a rare find if you want a dog with substance and a story. By the way, Buddy is a Libra—he’s happiest when things are peaceful and balanced. Every animal deserves a genuine home, and Buddy’s hoping to find his with someone who gets him. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
