BUDDY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $550 + MN tax. Buddy is approximately 3.5 years old and about 95 lbs. He is gradually losing weight as came to us a bit overweight. Buddy is a big, strong, healthy, active, fun-loving boy who is excited about life! Buddy takes joy in the "small things," like TOYS, TOYS, TOYS, and balls, and sticks, whatever! In fact if you could make a movie about Buddy's life, it could be called, "Toys! Toys! Toys," simliar to the 1962 Elvis movie "Girls! Girls! Girls!" Buddy is always up for a good time, absolutely loves to go the dog park (daily) and he just always has a hope in his heart that you want to play games as much as he does! (Fetch and pull games). Buddy is smart and he would make a good watchdog in the sense that he is alert and has a nice loud bark, but he is not an incessant barker or anything like that. He loves to hang outside, can spend time on his own out in the yard, just enjoying his toys, the sun, watching other people or cars go by, he just really enjoys being outside. Buddy can be very calm and great in the house, he settles well once he realizes you can't play with him or you have to do your work. He is a great companion, never too far away, chilling on a dog bed or a big rug. Buddy has a sweet temperament, and is definitely action oriented, ready to go ride or die kind of guy! We are seeking a home for Buddy with a fenced in yard, someone who is very active and understand the active needs of a young, big dog. Looking for dog park people, as Buddy just thrives in this activity, and/or someone that has a lot of land, and can be outside with him a lot and get him the activity and action he craves. (And then again, once he's been active, he chills very well). Buddy is crated trained, great with other dogs, people. It seems like Buddy could be good with cats, but gets excited to greet them, so they tend to run away. Buddy is too exuberant for a home with small children, but older children may be OK. He is very loving and excited about life.
