About Buddy and Bandit

Meet Buddy and Bandit, our dynamic duo of bonded senior dogs looking for a forever home together. Both are 10 years old: Buddy is a 65-pound Husky mix, and Bandit is a 75-pound Boxer mix. These charming gents came to us from South Carolina after their owner faced life changes. They appreciate their past but are eager to enjoy their golden years in a loving new home. Buddy, the outgoing one, adores playtime, short as it may be, and loves snuggling up close. He's quite vocal about his likes and dislikes and enjoys being brushed. On the other hand, Bandit is more reserved yet equally affectionate, preferring to chew on bones and relax. Both thrive with each other and really shine when they can share a bed. They are house trained and would benefit from a fenced yard where Buddy can bask in the sun while Bandit stays comfy indoors. They are friendly with dogs and newcomers alike, making them great companions. Plus, they're excellent on leashes and enjoy car rides. Don't miss this chance to adopt this lovable pair; they truly are the best of friends.
