Meet Buddy – your very own ray of eternal sunshine
At 12 years young and 39 pounds, Buddy is a happy-go-lucky Cocker Spaniel mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never seems to stop wagging. He joined us from a nearby shelter and is ready to trade shelter life for a comfy couch, leisurely strolls, and a family to call his own. Buddy is a special guy because he's blind. While he can detect some light, he mostly relies on his other amazing senses—and you! He happily follows the sound of your voice on walks and is wonderful on a leash. Need to navigate a curb or a bump? Buddy is more than happy to let you gently guide him along. He's proof that you don't need perfect eyesight to enjoy life's adventures. Buddy has a small goal: achieving his "beach body" before summer waves goodbye. A few extra walks and a little exercise will help him slim down, and he's more than willing to make that journey with you. Every walk is another chance to sniff the world, hear the birds, and spend time with his favorite person. Buddy doesn't ask for much in life. He just wants someone to love him. In return, he'll reward you with endless devotion, a cheerful spirit, and the kind of companionship only a grateful senior dog can give.
Ideal Home
Buddy has shown great potential with other dogs, but as always, a meet-and-greet is required to ensure everyone gets along. Compatibility with cats and young children is unknown, so older children are preferred. Because Buddy navigates the world differently, experience with blind dogs would be a wonderful bonus. A fenced-in yard is also preferred.
Ongoing Health
Buddy will receive his vaccines, microchip, and neuter surgery to begin his new life safe, healthy, and loved.
