About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a gentle and affectionate Chihuahua mix who is almost 4 years old. This laid-back boy loves to snuggle in your lap and relax on the couch—after a brief play session with his foster brother, of course. While he enjoys some fun, he's more about the calm life, preferring quiet moments over high-energy activities. Buddy tends to be a bit skittish; sudden movements can make him nervous, but he responds by retreating rather than reacting negatively. Because of this personality trait, an adult home without young children would be ideal for him. He's also quite curious about his foster family's chickens, often observing them intently. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who seeks a peaceful existence, Buddy might just be your perfect match. United Animal Friends, located in Prescott, AZ, aims to ensure the best fit for every pet. Our adoption fee helps cover various expenses for the pets we rescue.
