Buddy

Buddy is a 9 month old terrier and hound mix weighing 75 pounds, and he is ready to be your best friend! He loves all kinds of adventures: hiking, walking, jogging, and exploring (finding his favorite sticks along the way); as long as he is with you, he is happy! He can be a tad shy at first, but takes no time in warming up to you with a wagging tail. Buddy has puppy energy and loves to spend time at doggie daycare with his best dog pals. This smart boy has done well learning commands such as sit, stay, learning how to walk on a leash, and going to the back door when he needs to potty. With his freckled nose and brown eyes, Buddy is sure to steal your heart!
