About Jimmy Chew Aka Buddy

Meet Jimmy Chew, aka Buddy! This gentle soul came to PACC as a tri-pod with severe untreated valley fever back in 2024. Thanks to his wonderful foster home, he has significantly improved. Although he's still scared of many things, he has built a strong bond with his foster. Buddy gets along well with the two other adopted dogs at home, though he prefers to keep to himself. While he doesn’t engage in play, he enjoys lounging around and has his two favorite beds for comfort. Buddy takes small daily walks and does well on a leash, although his energy levels are low, so he can’t go very far. Foster children live in the home, and Buddy is generally good with them, but he appreciates a calm approach. As for sounds, he's a quiet boy who rarely barks. He’s not crated; he roams freely at home where he has experienced kindness and care. After a tough life, it’s heartwarming to see him pampered and fed twice daily, which is undoubtedly the highlight of his day. This sweet boy needs a patient and loving adopter to help him blossom further. Consider welcoming Buddy into your home!
