About Buddy
Buddy came into rescue care along with another dog from the same home, when their elderly owner had to go into a nursing home and thre was no family member able to take on the dogs. Although the dogs were good friends, they are by no means inseperable and their former owner was completely confident that they would be perfectly comfortable bein homed as individuals, describing them as very happy-go-lucky dogs who just like people. How nice is that? For that reason, we are not seeking to hme them as a pair. Buddy has been a loved dog, but has not been getting enough exercise or attention in recent times, so will need a more active owner to help him shed a few pounds! He loves to play ball, and enjoys his walks but can pull on the lead. Other than that he is a very good boy, easy going and friendly.
Buddy has not lived with childr3en, so although he has met lots of youngsters and been very good with them, we would not wish to rehome him with children under 10 years. He has not lived with small pets, and will chase cats, so no feline family members for this lad! He is good with other dogs.
Buddy is a very cheerful and obliging dog who will make a great companion for an active owner, able to give him company most of the time as he has been used to being with both a person and another dog so would potentially find long periods of solitude quite difficult.
