About Buddy

Buddy is happiest when he’s with his people. He loves meeting new friends and is always ready to offer a hug, a kiss, or engage in a game of fetch. Smart, affectionate, and playful, he balances energy with a surprisingly calm demeanor after his daily adventures. Buddy is house trained, rides beautifully in the car, and knows commands like sit, down, shake, and high five. He enjoys walks, playing ball, and chewing on his favorite toys, always keeping tabs on his humans. While he can get quite excited around other dogs and cats, he's had successful playdates with other dogs in the right environment, making a slow introduction possible for new canine companions. Buddy thrives on companionship and needs to be part of the family, rather than left outside alone. If you're seeking a loyal, affectionate companion who fills your days with joy and laughter, Buddy would love to meet you. Ready to make a new friend? Apply now.
