About Buddy

Meet Buddy, the joyful 1-year-old Poodle mix who brings endless smiles and energy. At 12 lbs., this little guy is a bundle of love and adventure. Despite his recent shave, Buddy's beautiful, fluffy, non-shedding coat will soon return, resembling a charming white cloud. Buddy thrives on action, whether it’s playing fetch, enjoying car rides, or exploring the great outdoors. He cherishes meeting new people on his walks and is an expert snuggler at bedtime. His friendly and playful demeanor makes him the perfect addition to any family. He is fully house-trained, with no indoor marking. Ideal for an active family with older kids or teens, Buddy would thrive in a home where he can safely zoom in a secure yard. He adores other dogs and would love a playful sibling to join him in fun.
