Bio:

Looking for a calm and loving guy to be your buddy? Well, look no further! I’m your man. My name is even Buddy, which kind of says it all. Foster mom says I’m a sweet, low-key guy who loves being around people and soaking up love, but I’m not pesty about it. I do have a couple issues you should be aware of. I am overweight and will need your help to get to a healthy weight. Since I enjoy walks, we should be able to accomplish that over time. And earlier this year I developed seizure disorder. I’m on two medications twice daily to control them. I also enjoy the company of other dogs, but any canine companions should be low-key like me. I’ll do best in a home with a regular routine without a lot of noise and activity.

Weight: 135

Good with kids? Unknown

Good with cats? Unknown

Adoption fee: $550

Medical concerns: Buddy has seizure disorder, so he takes two medications twice daily to control them. He needs to have bloodwork done every six months to make sure his meds are at the correct dosage, especially as he loses weight. Buddy is overweight and needs to get to 85-90 pounds.

Requirements: None

If interested please fill out our online adoption application form; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
