Buddy (Reduced Rover)

Do you like tippy-tappy feet? Tigger-like bounces? Well I'm your guy. I'm Buddy, the happiest dog you'll ever meet. Some of my favorite things are playing, cuddling, walks, kids, ear scratches, belly rubs, sunbathing, and meeting new friends! I love to go on adventures and explore new places but I also love chilling at home with my people. My ideal match is someone who will love me and rub my belly.<br/><br/>I'm crate-trained but I don't need to be crated when you aren't home because I'll just nap and wait to greet you at the door. I am very smart and very trainable. My foster mom said she has seen me learn new things in a day! (Am I a genius?) I'm ~8 years old and 62lbs. I prefer slow introductions to new dogs, but I'm told that I'm a good judge of character and I do enjoy a good play session once I've had a chance to read the room.<br/><br/>Because I'm a black dog, I have been overlooked online and stuck in rescue for far too long despite my amazing personality. I think my black fur is fashionable and chic. If you are looking for a happy, fashionable, bundle of love, I'm your guy! Smart, fashionable, loving, and good with kids? I sure sound perfect. Let's meet up, sit in the sun, and watch the squirrels together and see if it's a match.<br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to please visit our website to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt <br/><br/>**Please do not use the "Introduce Yourself" feature. The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).<br/><br/>The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. Please see our website for more information. <br/><br/>2025 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals:<br/>Puppies under 12 months - $400<br/>Dogs over 12 months - $300<br/><br/>For additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets, see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq<br/><br/>*Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as Pet Finder, and are no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.<br/><br/>*Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our puppies live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
