About Buddy

Buddy is a friendly heeler mix who takes a little time to warm up to new faces. Once he gets to know you, he’s all love and affection, making him a delightful companion. He enjoys his daily walks and is both leash trained and housebroken. Just a heads-up for chicken keepers: Buddy is not approved for poultry, so he’d prefer to keep the clucking away. For those who enjoy a playful yet gentle presence, Buddy is the dog for you. To meet Buddy, connect with his foster mom, Maureen, or fill out an application with Blackhat Humane Society.
