Meet Buffy, an 11-year-old chocolate Labrador and Standard Poodle mix weighing around 40 pounds. Buffy has been with her family since she was just 12 weeks old, making her recent search for a new home especially tough. A family medical situation has brought her here, and all they want is for her to find a loving and caring family. Buffy is affectionate and gentle, not to mention playful and somewhat of a Velcro dog. She thrives in a quiet environment where she can be close to her people and be involved in family life. Her friendly nature makes her delightful company, though she sometimes feels a bit nervous around kids. This sweet girl is smart and takes food motivation very seriously. She knows numerous commands, including sit, stay, and come, and is ready for a treat-filled training refresher. Buffy is housetrained and can be left alone for up to four hours. Her chocolate coat requires regular grooming to keep it in top shape. While she has experience living with children, Buffy's interactions with cats haven't always been perfect; she's known to chase them occasionally. Thoughtful introductions with other dogs are important, as she can feel a bit anxious at times. All Buffy wants is a cozy blanket near her loved ones and the comforting routine of a new home. She's ready to share her love with someone who understands her needs. Give Buffy a chance to find her new soft landing. She's excited to start this next chapter!
