About Buddy
Meet Buddy, a very handsome, sweet and affectionate dog that is longing for a family that can support his needs. Buddy was reluctantly surrendered to us due to a health concern with the person he was acting as a companion dog for.
Now Buddy seeks a family that will be able to spend lots of time with him, as he just craves human attention.
There are many positive traits that Buddy displays. He is super excited to go for two daily walks, morning and afternoon, so you will see first hand the energetic capacity of this special little dog. He is good on the lead and wears a harness to assist his direction. He loves to play outside for a period of time, but wants desperately to come inside and be next to his human companions throughout the day and evening. Buddy is house trained, but you need to keep reminding him to attend to his “bodily chores”. A visit outside before bedtime late in the evening will see him last throughout the night.
Buddy retreats to bed easily and has slept inside most recently with his latest family. He would love nothing more than to curl up next to you on your bed if allowed.
When inside, Buddy has learnt to hop into his day bed, or if he has been a good boy, he would love to snuggle up next to you on his rug on the couch for a cuddle, scratch and quality time. He will happily follow you from room and room, and where you settle, so will he.
Buddy has spent time at the beach and loves to play fetch with a tennis ball. He is not fond of the water, but loves to run free on the sand. Importantly, Buddy loves to travel in the car. He just automatically settles down for a long ride and has a nap to while away the time.
Buddy is dog friendly and social and has met many new friends on his daily walks. Very large dogs can sometimes be confronting for him. Importantly, this cute little guy loves humans of all ages including very young children. He has a great temperament and loves to jump and sit on your lap for a snooze. He rarely barks and is not a digger. He has not been tested with cats, and he displayed a dislike to little furry creatures so no chickens or pocket pets.
Now, the downside is that this pocket rocket gets a little stressed if he can’t see his human parents. He tends to run and run around the outside of the house if he can’t find you, so he can’t be left outside alone for long periods of time.
He would be best suited to a family with another small female dog for company and to calm him down when his humans pop out for a while. He would ideally suit retirees or those working from home.
This little man is craving for a family that can give him love and attention. He has a fantastic personality, is super handsome and bright as a spark. He has very good name recall and has learnt to drop and wait for his kibble snack in the morning after his walk and his evening meal. He would benefit from further training.
- Buddy is not suitable to those living in apartments.
- Buddy is not suited to being an only dog.
Please only apply if you have another dog and live in a property which will allow inside and outside time.
