Buddy AKA Spruce Labrador Retriever Norfolk, VA

Introducing Buddy, a sweet and affectionate young man who is nearly five years old and has unfortunately spent much of his life in a shelter. Originally from Texas, Buddy was just a pup when he came to Big Dog Ranch in 2021. He was adopted for a short time but came back to the Ranch and has been with us ever since. Buddy may be a bit shy initially, but once he becomes comfortable, he thrives on sharing affection and companionship. He is full of love to give and always eager for playtime with his favorite toys, whether it's a squeaky ball, a plush stuffed animal, a chewy bone.

Buddy interacts well with other dogs that respect his boundaries, though he prefers to be the center of attention and would flourish in a home where he can be the sole focus. He is best suited for an experienced adopter who understands his needs and can provide the care and attention he desires. While he enjoys his play, Buddy is a low-energy dog who is both loyal and affectionate. He is ready to shower his future family with endless cuddles, love, and companionship. For those seeking a sweet loving companion who appreciates quiet moments one-on-one attention, Buddy could be the ideal addition to your home. Would you consider making him your new best friend?
