About Buddy

Meet Buddy, an adorable 8-month-old Dachshund with a mix of wirehaired and longhaired characteristics. He has a sweet disposition and embodies what it means to be a playful puppy. Fully vetted and awaiting neutering, Buddy is leash and crate trained, making him a great companion for anyone looking for a loyal friend. Buddy enjoys frolicking in the sunshine and requires regular walks. He thrives in a secure fenced yard where he can explore safely. Though he gets along well with small dogs and is fine with older kids, he does not do well with cats.
