About Buddy

This sweet 9-year-old beagle enjoys sniffing around, whether he's in the yard or on a walk, and he frequently checks in with his humans. While he may not be a fan of toys, he's all about belly rubs and staying close to his family. Buddy has a history of living harmoniously with cats, children, and is social with other dogs. He's also crate trained, making it easier for him to adjust to a new home. He loves fuzzy blankets, basking in the sunshine, and enjoys the occasional treat of apples and peanut butter. With his gentle demeanor and good skills, Buddy is a fantastic companion for a family seeking an active yet calm dog. Interested adopters should note that the shelter operates by appointment only, so it's recommended to fill out an application prior to scheduling a meet-and-greet. Reach out with any questions!
