Buddy

Meet Buddy — the shy guy with a secret goofy side ??<br/><br/>At 3 years old and weighing just 12 pounds, Buddy is a Westie/Terrier mix with a heart twice his size. He’s the kind of little guy who likes to take things slow — not because he’s aloof, but because he’s a thoughtful gentleman. When he meets new people, he likes to hang back, observe, and make sure the vibes are right before committing to full-body wags. Once he decides you’re safe, though? You’ve officially been promoted to “favorite human ever.”<br/><br/>Buddy’s love language is quiet loyalty. He’s not a loud or demanding dog — in fact, he’s pretty zen. No barking fits, no separation anxiety, no chaos. He’s the type to curl up in his little corner, watch the world go by, and think deep thoughts (probably about snacks). He’s happy just being near you, soaking in the comfort of knowing he’s finally safe and loved.<br/><br/>When it’s time to head outside, Buddy turns into quite the confident explorer. He walks beautifully on leash — whether it’s just the two of you or alongside another dog. He gets along great with dogs of all sizes, and once he’s bonded with his person, he can even be trusted off-leash. He’ll stick close, keeping an eye on you like, “Don’t worry, I’ve got your six.”<br/><br/>At home, Buddy is a dream roommate. He’s quiet, tidy, and perfectly content to entertain himself with his toys. You might look over and catch him gently tossing a toy in the air or pouncing on it with an adorably serious expression — like a little dog playing secret agent. Then, just as quickly, he’s back to lounging in his favorite spot, surveying his kingdom in peace.<br/><br/>What Buddy needs most is someone who understands that the best relationships take time. He’s not going to rush into your lap on day one, but when he finally decides you’re his person, the bond you’ll share is pure magic. The first time he curls up next to you or lets you see his silly, happy dance — you’ll know you’ve earned something special.<br/><br/>Buddy is looking for a patient, kind-hearted human who sees the beauty in a slow bloom. Someone who will give him the space to open up and the love to stay open forever. Because once you’ve earned Buddy’s trust, you’ll have more than just a dog — you’ll have a lifelong best friend, a little shadow who follows you to the kitchen, and a heart full of quiet joy. <br/>To meet him please fill out an application https://www.welcomehomesanctuary.org/adoption-application
