About Budsey

Meet Budsey: the ultimate gentle giant! This 2-year-old Labrador Retriever mix has the calm demeanor of an older dog, making him a perfect companion. He’s ready to find his forever family. Budsey is animal-friendly, getting along well with both dogs and cats. He has even done wonderfully with small animals, including chickens. In the house, he’s a dream: fully house-trained and crate-trained, he doesn’t jump up on people or counter-surf. A smart boy, Budsey knows basic commands like sit and come, and he picked up his foster home's potty command in just two days. Playtime is his favorite, especially when tennis balls are involved—fetch is a must! Budsey is also quiet, only giving the occasional sweet whine when he wants to share something. If you’re looking for a low-key and affectionate big guy, Budsey is here to steal your heart. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies!
