About Buddy

SINGLE MAN SEEKS BROMANCE! Meet Buddy, an adorable 1.5-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs just 11 pounds. This sweet little guy is all about snuggles and has a strong preference for the male species. Buddy absolutely LOVES men, while he's still warming up to women—which means potential adopters should be patient and understanding. He can be a bit snappy with ladies, so a home with a single gentleman or a couple of dads would be ideal. Buddy thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he feels safe. He may seem shy at first, but give him a couple of days, and he’ll become your favorite lap warmer. He enjoys low-energy days curled up with his favorite person. Buddy does well with cats and small dogs, but is not suitable for homes with children. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find his forever home. Make Buddy a part of your life and enjoy some serious cuddles together!
