About Buddy

Hi there! I'm Buddy, and yes, I truly live up to my name! I'm a loving, loyal companion who's built a solid fan club thanks to my affectionate personality, playful spirit, and smart mind. I love giving hugs and kisses, know several commands, and am great on leash. After a fun session of fetch or pushing around my jolly ball, I'm more than ready to curl up next to you for a well-deserved nap. I'm also pretty polite – I don't bark much, have great house manners, and even handle bath time like a pro.

Ideal Home

I'm looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands dog behavior and is committed to continuing the positive reinforcement training I've already started. I can be protective of my people, especially on leash or when strangers visit, so a quieter home without frequent guests is ideal. A fenced-in yard would be the dream – that's where I shine with my favorite games and zoomies. I do best as the only pet in the home, but may be okay with the right calm, non-reactive match after further discussion. No cats for me, please!

Ongoing Health

All my vaccinations (rabies, distemper & Bordetella) are up to date, and I've been spayed/neutered. I've also received diagnostic testing and any other medical procedures recommended by the vet. I'm also current on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Training & Support

I know my name, "sit," and "catch," and I'm eager to keep learning! I have great house manners and am calm indoors. I don't bark much, and I'll patiently keep you company in the kitchen. You'll also get 1 month of access to Petcademy for training and behavior support.
