BUDDY - MALTESE / POODLE (MINIATURE) / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Buddy! He is about a year old, 16 lbs, and some sort of “Poo” mix. Who knows, but what we do know is that he is a fun-loving fella in search of his forever. Did you see those beautiful amber eyes — we swoon on the daily! Look past the wonky haircut and you will see the lovable and snuggly bug that is Buddy. Sadly, when we met Buddy at the shelter he was filthy and matted, so off to the groomer he went. They did an amazing job, considering he was in such bad shape. Don’t worry, he will be in tip top shape (we are hoping for a mild shag) soon — with a few more weeks of growth, you will see how handsome his glow up will be! Buddy is young at heart and bounces around like a ray of sunshine to greet everyone he possibly can. He loves toys and playing with both two-legged and four-legged friends. Buddy is silly and goofy at times, but can also snuggle up on the couch like it’s a sport. He’s the type of dog that is cool with other dogs around but will also thrive as the only dog in your home. He does have some mild food protective tendencies, but we solve that easily by feeding him separate from the pack — no big deal. Buddy most certainly had a rough start, but he is a very forgiving soul and loves all humans. He loves to show you toys and encourages you to play with him every time you walk in the room — it’s adorable. Buddy isn’t a crazy energy pooch in general; he loves snoozing in his bed at your feet, snuggling in bed or on the couch (another beloved sport). He does get a case of the zoomies every now and then, like most young dogs, but a few walks or even a hike is his jam. Buddy is considered a small dog, but he has the athleticism to do more than simple walks if you prefer something a bit more strenuous every now and then. Why are you waiting? Fill out that app — he’s a fabulous forever friend! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
