Buzz is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. He gets along with cats and appreciates a calm environment without too much commotion. Although affectionate with his family, Buzz can be cautious around strangers and protective of his space. His current living situation, with busy activity and frequent visitors, has been overwhelming for him. A quieter, stable home with a predictable routine suits him best, ideally with older, dog-savvy children or adults only. Buzz needs time to warm up to new people, but patience and some tasty treats go a long way in helping him settle. While he has lived with other dogs, Buzz prefers an easygoing female if another dog is in the picture. Thoughtful introductions are essential for him to feel comfortable. Overall, Buzz thrives on companionship and love from his trusted humans. Whether it’s chasing a frisbee, going for a walk, or snuggling up at the end of the day, he flourishes when surrounded by those he loves. If you can offer a quiet, stable home, Buzz may just be the loyal friend you’ve been looking for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
