About Jimmy Chew Aka Buddy

Meet Jimmy Chew, also known as Buddy! This sweet senior came to PACC as a tri-pod with severe untreated valley fever back in 2024. Living with a dedicated foster has allowed him to regain some health and confidence. Although he’s still easily startled, he's become a remarkable companion, often following his foster around the house. Buddy coexists peacefully with two other foster dogs but prefers not to engage or play. He enjoys small daily walks, is good on a leash, and has become accustomed to the hustle and bustle of a home with young kids. While Buddy can be shy and nervous especially around new people, he shows his affectionate side once he feels safe. He has a gentle demeanor, is quiet, and has never been known to bark. Currently, he has the freedom of the house and even has his own cozy beds to curl up in. If you're looking for a loyal companion who needs a patient home to help him thrive, consider adopting Buddy today!
