About Buddy

Buddy is a resilient boy who was found scavenging for food at a landfill, showing signs of past injuries from dog fights.

At around 5 years old and a solid 60 pounds, Buddy has filled out beautifully since arriving at our shelter. He's a quick learner, mastering commands quickly with treats, and is quite the people pleaser. He enjoys walks and is crate trained, but does pull on the lead. A secure fenced yard is essential for Buddy, as he thrives in a safe space where he can play and be part of an active family. If Buddy seems like the companion for you, he’s waiting to meet your heart! Click apply to start the adoption process.
