Notes: Buddy is a friendly outgoing boy, about three years old, who loves attention from people. He does well with other dogs and is gentle, so he should do fine with children who are not too small (just because of his size, 50-55 pounds). He is not yet house trained and walks fairly well on leash. Buddy is looking for a forever home with a big yard so he can run around and explore safely and lots of time in the house with his family so he can get all the belly rubs and pats he loves. And of course a comfortable bed to relax on when he is inside.
This dog has been available for 737 days
