SWEET LOVER BOY

About Buddy

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Color: Black
Buddy was recently relinquished and just didn't fit into the family. He's in our Prison Foster Program and doing just great--all the men love him and Buddy has responed superbly to their guidance and care.  This sweet boy who responds well to consistency is looking for his forever home.  Buddy is 7 years old.

Below is the writeup from his first family (yes, this poor boy was returned twice).  You can see that they loved him and he got along great in the family--it was just the cats that were too tempting for Buddy:
Jawa Buddy is a gorgeous lover boy. He loves to hug and is just a happy fellow. He is sweet and friendly and just wants to be loved by someone.  He is another nice, nice boy.
Buddy is 4 years old. Buddy was adopted and his family of parents and many kids just loved him and he was a great dog. However, it turns out that he is not good with cats. He was reluctantly returned and is looking for another loving home.
Foster Update 5/17/2010

Buddy is doing very well here!  He's a quiet boy, who *loves* to be loved and is very eager to please.  He has a playful spirit and has taken to the toys already, but they don't stand a chance against him -- only tough toys for this boy!  We've also seen his "bratty" (but very cute) side -- he flips his food bowl over every morning after he's done to let us know he's dissatisfied that it's all gone.  Just too funny :)  He's definitely entertaining and a pleasure to have around.  Buddy gets along well with our 2 greys and has had very good house manners from the start. 

 He walks nicely on a leash and is especially happy when he meets the neighborhood kids on his walks. This sweet boy is looking for a family who can

shower him with love and attention (and treats, of course).  It shouldn't be a tough search - anyone who meets him will be smitten immediately :)

Foster Update 6/9/2010

 Buddy is still doing great.  He's really settled in and is quite the love-bug.  He is nearly literally a "velcro-dog" - it seems like he always has to be in physical contact with you in some way or another, whether it's stuck to your legs while you're walking, or his head on your foot as he lays in the kitchen while you're cooking.  What a sweetie!  He's gotten over his meal-time antics of flipping his bowl to express his discontent that his food is done, but it was so cute we actually miss it.  But not to worry, there's no lack of cuteness with this boy :)  He loves to play with his toys, flipping and chasing them around the room until he settles down for a nice chew.  Most of the time though, he's just looking for snuggles.  This boy would stand for hours as long as he's getting hugs and kisses and scratches from you; it's really what he loves most (well, that and food). He's well-mannered in the house, and very responsive - all it takes is a quick "eh-eh" to correct him.  We've had no accidents at all in the house, and by now he's a pro at navigating the stairs as well.  He's even been great on a leash from day one.  Overall, Buddy is a sweet, mellow boy who is just looking for someone to love and snuggle him.  He especially loves children :)  Just take a look at this boy's pictures - his sweet face says it all!
