About Buddy

Buddy stands out as a charming 10-year-old Heeler/Border Collie mix with a gentle spirit and relaxed demeanor. Rescued as a stray, this remarkable pup, although microchipped, couldn't return to his previous home. Now, he’s ready to embrace a new start. Getting to know Buddy has been a joy; he's a wonderful companion who thrives during bath time, loves car rides, and enjoys leisurely walks wrapped in cuddle sessions. He's friendly with everyone he meets, including children, paving the way for a loving family environment. While Buddy hasn't yet met other animals, we’re optimistic about his ability to adapt in a multi-pet household. Buddy is eager to leave his stray days behind for a home filled with comfort, companionship, and ample snuggles. If you want a loyal friend with plenty of love to give, come meet Buddy!
