Critter Details

See Buddy’s HomepageGo to our official websiteSmall, spunky, and full of personality, this 1-year-old possible Jack Russell mix male pup is ready to wiggle his way into your heart! Buddy loves toys, zoomies, making new friends, and soaking up attention from everyone he meets. Whether it's a game of fetch or a fun training session, Buddy is excited to be part of the action. Buddy is house trained; crate trained; and knows the sit command. He sleeps through the night quietly in his crate. He’s working on not jumping when greeting people and walking on a leash. Buddy has been diagnosed with early arthritis in his front leg; however, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Keeping Buddy at a healthy weight (25 lbs.); on joint supplements; following veterinarian's recommendations; and balancing activity with rest will help him stay comfortable and happy. He may not be training for the Dog Olympics, but he's absolutely going for gold in cuddling, making you laugh, and stealing your spot on the couch. If you're looking for a pint-sized comedian with a huge heart, this little guy is ready to be your favorite sidekick. Buddy is dog/cat friendly. He would do best in a household with older 8+ years old respectful kids, if any and a secure fenced-in yard.
