Meet Buddy, a gentle soul looking for his perfect match. This senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix has a heart full of love and a personality that truly shines once he feels safe. Although Buddy may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, his sweet and gentle nature shines through when he’s comfortable. He absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. Buddy is both house-trained and crate-trained; his crate serves as his happy place. In fact, when left alone, he prefers the comfort of his kennel and often chooses to relax there even when his humans are home. A quiet, low-energy home would suit Buddy perfectly, especially with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. He walks well on a leash and, while he hasn't been around young children, his gentle demeanor suggests he would do well with them. We don’t know how he feels about cats but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy's favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship.
