Buddy

Location: Calgary // Age: Approx 2 years // Sex: Neutered male // Energy level: Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes // Kids: Yes, older dog savvy kids // <br/><br/>Meet Buddy (formerly Boss) — but trust us, the only thing he’s bossing around these days is your heart. 💛 Buddy is the perfect mix of puppy sparkle and laid-back charm. He’s still got that fun, bouncy energy for daily walks and toy time, but he’s just as happy to curl up in a sunny spot and recharge. Think: playful best friend by day, cozy cuddle bug by night. 🐾 <br/><br/>On walks, Buddy “trouts” along like he owns the world — happy, confident, and proud. He’s great on leash and may be a little shy meeting new people at first, but once he realizes they’re safe? Instant fan club member. He truly loves everybody. 🐾 <br/><br/>At home, he’s wonderfully easy-going. Pop him in his crate and he’ll curl up and snooze like a pro — he sleeps through the night and handles alone time beautifully. He’s mostly house trained (just needs a quick morning potty trip right when he wakes up) and is adjusting like a champ to indoor life after his shelter days. 🐾 <br/><br/>Buddy is: ✨ Dog-friendly (he LOVES having a buddy to play with). ✨ Curious about cats and wants to play. ✨ Food motivated and eager to learn. ✨ A professional sunbather. 🐾<br/><br/>He does enjoy playful nibbling during playtime, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids would likely be the best fit. Toddlers might find him a little enthusiastic, but with guidance, he’s a smart boy who will continue learning. 🐾 <br/><br/>His little body carries a few scars from his past, but they don’t slow him down one bit. If anything, they just tell the story of a resilient pup who’s ready for his next chapter — one filled with backyard lounging, snack breaks, adventures, and a family to call his own. Buddy isn’t just a good boy… he’s the kind of loyal little friend who makes every day brighter. 🐾<br/><br/>✨ If you are interested in meeting Boss, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
