About Buddy

Welcome Buddy to NJ Boxer Rescue! This beautiful 3-year-old brindle Boxer is searching for a new home after his previous owner passed away. Buddy has been staying with his grandparents, who love him dearly, but they also care for Buddy's parents and another Boxer. They want to ensure he finds a safe and loving environment. Buddy’s a diamond in the rough, ready for some guidance to sharpen his manners. He is crate trained and knows basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘down.’ While he may need some assistance with housetraining, Buddy has a solid foundation. With patience and love, he can evolve into a wonderful companion. Buddy thrives with female dogs, as he and his dad do not get along. He hasn't interacted much with children, but given his energetic nature, a home with kids aged 12 and up would be ideal. His compatibility with cats is still unknown. Buddy has experienced a tough transition in life and is looking for someone who can offer him a fresh start filled with love. Could you be the one to show him that brighter days are ahead?
