Buddy

SUPER sweet, smart, loving, cuddly and beautiful Catahoula-mixed [we think- genetic test pending] 5-6 month old male neutered puppy. Had to get him out of the shelter and want to find him a great home. Very close to fully potty trained, already knows sit. Likes treats. Bonds fast and sticks to you like glue. Still does not love being alone but we are working on that. I will cover food, transport, medical [getting over Kennel Cough] for the right home! A true love that would want nothing more than to be around his people and attack them with kisses. Please reach out to me to discuss and meet.
