About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a lively 6-year-old who’s ready to share his energy with the right family. Recently transferred to us from a rescue, he gets along well with his buddy Rosco, though they don’t need to be adopted together. Buddy is eager to learn basic commands and would thrive in an active household that can provide him with the guidance he needs. He is suitable for homes with kids aged 12 and up. Once adopted, a free training session with Canine Cooperative is available to help him settle in. Buddy is already house trained and gets along well with other dogs, but it’s important to have a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility if you have a dog at home. Our adoption fee is $150, which covers spaying/neutering, vaccines, heartworm and Lyme testing, deworming, and flea/tick prevention. You’re encouraged to stop by, fill out an application, and spend some time with Buddy. He could be a great addition to your family! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
