Meet Buddha! This handsome 3-year-old cream Shar-Pei is eager to find his forever home. Buddha is a neutered gentleman with a heart of gold and a laid-back personality, making him a fantastic addition to any household. Buddha thrives on social interactions; he loves people and gets along well with other dogs. His friendly demeanor makes him a great companion for families, singles, or anyone who enjoys the company of an outgoing pup. Car rides are a breeze for Buddha—he might whimper a bit at first, but he settles in nicely for the journey. He walks well on a leash and enjoys his strolls, although he’s still learning not to tug. With continued practice, he’ll soon master that skill. Buddha has a gentle soul, showing no signs of growling or aggression, and respects the house rules by keeping off the furniture. However, he is sensitive to loud noises, like ambulance sirens, so a patient and understanding home will help him feel secure. While he hasn't built a love for toys yet, he has his own quirks, like preferring treats served on the floor rather than by hand. With time and affection, we are excited to see Buddha blossom as he settles into a loving home. Buddha is currently fostering in Lake Forest, CA, and weighs about 48 pounds.
