Buddy's Story

Hi there!! I’m Buddy and I’m a 1.5-year-old, 35lb Border Collie-Hound mix boy with energy for DAYS! I’m sure you are thinking he’s not a cocker spaniel or small breed. Nope, I’m not, but the nice ladies at FCCR offered to help me find a new home so here I am! I’m currently in Georgia; my owner rescued me from a local shelter but realized I need a more active home than they can provide. So here I am, looking for a family that can keep up with my zoomies! I’m very friendly towards everyone and GREAT with kids – even very young ones! I’m current on all my vaccines and house trained, which makes me pretty awesome already, right? I’m somewhat good on a leash but I do pull at times (I just get so excited about everything!), so I’d benefit from some training. I’ve haven’t met any cats so not sure if we could be friends…I might want to chase them. Here’s what you really need to know about me: I love to RUN, RUN, and RUN some more! I absolutely need a fenced-in yard where I can burn off all this puppy energy. Did I mention I’m still VERY puppy-like? Because I am! I love to CHEW, so puppy-proof your home and hide your favorite shoes! I would LOVE to take basic doggie training with my humans and here’s the good news – I’m very smart and eager to learn and please! With the right active family who has time to train me and tire me out, I’ll make an excellent family dog. Are you up for the adventure? FCCR will take applications and questions for me through their website: www.floridacockerrescue.org Adoption fee: $250
