About Buddy
I'm Buddy and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• No children due to having arthritis in my back legs and my first home allowed the children to 'ride' me like a horse. I'm now a bit wary of children.
• I can be shy at first so I need a family who'll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
• A nice quiet home where I can just hang out with my family
• NO CATS
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
My best features:
• LOVE people
• I LOVE other dogs
• I can sit & shake hands
• Gentle
• I appear to be housetrained
• Playful
• Food motivated
• I walk well on lead
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
AN ADOPTED CAN'T BE APPROVED IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE SHELTER TO MEET BUDDY IN PERSON.
ANY EXISTING DOGS AT HOME MUST COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET BUDDY BEFORE AN ADOPTION CAN BE APPROVED
Medical notes
I do have some arthritis in my back knees and hips, I do not require any treatment at this stage however as I get older I may require medication to help keep me happy, active and pain free.
I would however benefit from supplements for joint and arthritis care such as products containing glucosamine and green lipped mussel.
I am also on the chunky side of life so it is crucial that I lose weight to minimize stress on my joints.
