About Buffy

Meet Buffy, a charming 10-year-old poodle mix, possibly a schnoodle. She has soft, non-shedding, curly hair, bright brown eyes, and those delightful crooked ears that make her even more endearing. Although she's nearly deaf, Buffy quickly adapts to hand signals, and with a little encouragement, she comes running with her tail wagging. Buffy is house trained and doesn’t bark, making her a quiet companion. She sleeps well in her kennel at night, but would love a cozy spot next to you on a dog bed. Once she trusts you, her loyalty shines through; she’ll want to be by your side and shower you with affection. Despite mild kidney insufficiency, which may require a special diet, she has no heart concerns and enjoys snuggling on laps and exploring the backyard. A fenced yard is essential for her curious nature, as she may not hear you calling her back. Buffy thrives on leash walks and delights in treats, especially when grilled pork chops are around. She gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and shows interest in their routines. Whether as a solo pet or with companions, she’ll reward her future family with sweet kisses.
