Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET BUDDY!!! Buddy is a 3 year old male weighing 43 lbs., who has sadly been in a shelter in TN since July 2014 – that’s 8 LONG months! He just arrived safe and sound to LFS! Buddy is a very sweet and happy boy despite his unfortunate circumstances. Sadly, Buddy is heartworm positive and will be treated in the coming weeks. Buddy needs a foster home to get healthy in – can you help? If so, please email Christie @ labfriendchristie@gmail.com.
FOSTER UPDATE 03/29: Buddy is a total sweetheart. Energetic, loving, social with people and dogs. He plays really well with his foster brother and sisters. He goes into his crate easily with treats or food. He sleeps in his crate in my bedroom all night without whining or complaining. He does like to be in the room with his human though. He looks forward to his exercise and long walks and will do well with an active and social owner who wants to take him on adventures, once he recovers completely from heartworm treatment. He is learning his basic commands and general obedience quickly. He wants to please and is a fast learner. He rides great in the car too. I just love him.
FOSTER UPDATE: Buddy rides great in the car. Sweet sweet boy. Learning more every day. He loves other dogs and is super social. He is a total snuggle bunny and very affectionate. We have been working on setting boundaries but he learns really quick. Food motivated which makes training easy. He needs and looks forward to his structured exercise because he is such an energetic dog. Everyone who meets him loves him. He would do great in a home with other dogs. We have seen cats on our walks and he doesn’t seem too interested but I honestly don’t know how he would be around them. He doesn’t appear to have a high prey drive.
