Buddy's Story

Meet Buddy! This handsome, gentle guy is as sweet as they come. Buddy loves attention and is happiest when he’s beside his humans — paw gently resting on your arm to remind you that pets are always appreciated. He’s about 6 years old, a Labrador Retriever/1Hound mix, and has been with us since October 7th. Buddy is a calm, easygoing boy who enjoys relaxing on the sofa just as much as he enjoys his walks and outdoor time. He’s friendly with other dogs, especially his young lab friend next door, though he can get a little overexcited on leash — something we’re working on! He’s house trained, great in the car, and loves meeting new people (including kids). Buddy would love a home where someone is around most of the time — he really thrives on companionship and is working on easing his separation anxiety. A fenced yard would make him very happy! He’s scheduled for his neuter surgery on November 11, and after that, he’ll be ready to find his forever home. Adoption fee includes: - Core vaccines - Rabies vaccine (age dependent) - 4DX test for heartworm & tick-borne diseases (age dependent) - Flea, tick & heartworm prevention - Parasite treatment - Dental surgery if recommended by our vet partners - A session with a positive-reinforcement trainer - Ongoing support from our team - Microchip - One month of Trupanion coverage Adoption fee: $850 — Adults (1–7 years), spayed/neutered Apply to adopt Buddy: https://form.jotform.com/243494963032258
