About Buddy

Meet Buddy — your future shadow with springs for legs! This energetic 1-year-old male Pit Bull mix is a lively bundle of enthusiasm who hasn't quite realized that not everyone appreciates an impromptu trampoline experience. He’s young and goofy, bursting with energy, and will need some training to harness that exuberance into good manners. Buddy tends to pull on the leash as if he's in a race, and while he loves to chase after toys, the bringing them back part is still a work in progress. He shines in his ability to forage for treats and would happily make a career out of sniffing out snacks. Despite all the excitement, Buddy has a sweet disposition and loves to stay close to his humans, striving to be your personal shadow. He has shown friendly interest in a dog he encountered through the fence, indicating he might enjoy the company of other dogs as well. If you're seeking a fun, energetic pup who will keep you entertained and just needs a bit of guidance (and some leash training), Buddy is excited to bounce into your life.
