About Buddy

Meet Buddy! This little guy is really coming into his own in a foster home. Once he left the shelter, his true personality began to shine through. Buddy is smart and highly trainable, showcasing his active and energetic side. He loves being outdoors, taking in the sights and sounds, then winding down with a cozy snuggle on the couch. Buddy knows several basic commands and is eager to learn more. He walks well on a leash, and he's working on improving his manners every day. Responding well to clear boundaries like 'no', Buddy thrives on structure and consistency. He takes his role seriously, especially when it comes to watching over squirrels and birds in the yard. Loyal and protective, he’s ready for an experienced owner who can provide calm leadership and continue to build on his progress. His foster believes Buddy may be a Border Collie mix rather than a Chihuahua mix, and it shows in his intelligence and drive.
