Meet Buddy: A Sweet and Easygoing Dog Ready to Find His Forever Home
Looking for a friendly, well-mannered companion to join your family? Meet Buddy, an easygoing young adult dog who’s as lovable as his name suggests! Estimated to be between 1 and 4 years old and weighing about 17 pounds, Buddy is the perfect size for just about any home—big enough for adventures, small enough for snuggles.
Buddy’s DNA test revealed quite the charming blend: 42% Chihuahua, 20% Poodle, 17% Dachshund, 7% Shih Tzu, and small traces of several other breeds. This mix gives him a delightful personality—alert, affectionate, and eager to connect with his people.
Polite and Playful
Buddy is a joy to walk, showing off excellent leash manners wherever he goes. He enjoys meeting and playing with other dogs, making him a great fit for homes with canine companions. While in foster care, he’s learned to “sit” and “wait” politely at the door before heading outside. He’s also proven himself to be a quiet traveler—riding calmly in the car and resting peacefully when left at home with other dogs.
A Gentle Soul Looking for Trust
Buddy is affectionate and loving once he’s comfortable, preferring to move at his own pace when it comes to handling. Like most dogs, he’ll thrive with continued positive training to help build trust and confidence in new situations.
