See Buddy the Elf’s HomepageGo to our official websiteYou can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Buddy is a gorgeous lemon beagle! He will thrive in a home where he has a safe space, is lead with a gentle voice, and lots of kindness and patience. He didn’t come from the best place, so he is super timid and takes a while to warm up. Once he does warm up to you, he will love you with his whole heart. He walks well on a harness and if you are a runner, he will gladly run by your side for as long as you can go! Buddy loves to be outside and really likes children once he gets over his shyness from meeting them. Our three year old spends his days coloring next to him and “reading” books to him. Buddy especially loves his friend Eugene and has done well at dog parks and meeting other dogs. Unsure on cats, as we haven’t had an exposure. Buddy is also very close to being potty training – he does piddle a bit when putting his leash on from being nervous, but it is getting less and less. When out walking, he does get nervous with loud noises – especially large trucks. He will look to you to make sure everything is ok and once you reassure him, he will calm down. Buddy will make a run for it if given the opportunity through an open door, so safety is a priority.   Buddy is heartworm positive.  He can be adopted during treatment if the adopter is local to Tampa Bay and able to transport him to his appointment.
