Buddy

Hi! I’m Buddy and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Buddy
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/5m1iH2nPnEYwLDbT9

NOTE: You are unable to meet Buddy until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Buddy in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

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 companion is a MUST to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I suffer from separation anxiety which results in barking and possible destructive behaviours.
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• Lots of love and attention
• I can be shy at first, so I need a family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence.

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
• young children as I can be a bit shy in new situations and with new people and little ones may accidently scare me. Older children who will be involved with my training should be ok
• Cats or small animals as I find them fun to chase

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans once i get to know you.
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Love to snooze on the couch
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I am shy at first with new people and in new environments so will require a family who will continue on with my socialisation is a must.
• I appear to be quiet vocal at times when left alone - a family who has a lot of time for me, allow me indoors and leave me with lots of mental enrichment when home alone is recommended
