Buddy is an owner surrender because they didn't have time for him anymore. He was kept outside all his life and his coat of fur demonstrated that. He was completely matted when we took him in and he could barely sit down. You could tell he was incredibly uncomfortable. The owners say that Buddy's mom was a Great Pyrenees. However, after his haircut, he looked like an adorable Giant Schnauzer. He's a sweet, sweet boy and yearns for acceptance. He was very nervous when he was first brought into the vet and would walk slowly on the tiled floor. He gently introduced himself to the house cat at the vet's office. He also was a complete gentleman as he walked by kennels of barking dogs. He was not phased by them. He enjoying what it's like to get pet and given attention. Appears he didn't get much attention based on his unassuming nature. Overall, Buddy will make an excellent family member and companion.
