Buddy Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Rochester, MN

Buddy is a sweet old grandpa wanting to be a teenager again - he is 13 and a petite little Red Heeler. He found his life turned upside down after his owner fell and had to move to a nursing home. Buddy was surrendered to SDR in April 2022 with a blood disorder. After 4 months of treatment his blood counts have returned to normal with a very low likelihood of a re-occurrence. Buddy's foster mom has done an excellent job of insuring he received the best veterinary care prior to adoption.

Buddy eats 2 small meals a day and he loves healthy treats. Small children move too fast so he would prefer a quieter house without very young children to enjoy his senior years. Buddy loves his 10-minute walks twice a day.

He is house-trained but needs to go out often since he has an elderly bladder. Buddy is crate trained but he prefers to be at his human family’s side most of the day. This makes him a great companion and he will even jump up in your lap every now and then for cuddles. He likes to sleep in the same room as his humans but he doesn't have to be on your bed.

Buddy can't wait for his new forever home; it will be like a fresh new start at life all over again! His adoption fee is only $250.
