Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old male neutered English Coonhound mix. I am 70lbs of pure love and affection. I like to spend most of my day lounging outside in the grass or inside on a dog bed chewing on toys. I share my foster home with three other dogs and I love to play and cuddle with all of them, even the sassy dominant female! I know sit and am learning how to lay down on command. I also know to sit and wait until my foster mom or dad say its ok for me to eat my food. I just finished treatment for heartworm disease. I am completely potty trained as well as crate trained. I walk very well on a leash and love taking walks. I am eager to learn and to please and would excel in a home with other dogs to keep me company, or if someone was home frequently. My foster home also has some crazy little creatures called chinchillas that while I am interested in watching what they do I have never shown any prey drive toward them.
When I first came into the rescue I was emaciated, muscle wasted, had hot spots, and was heartworm positive. I had been an outdoor only dog locked in an outdoor kennel. Due to boredom I learned to escape that kennel and would wander seeking attention that I did not get at home from my previous owners. That is how I came into rescue. I have gained 10lbs since coming into my foster parents home and my skin has cleared up. I can easily clear a 4ft fence so I need to either have a 6ft fence at minimum or have someone to either walk me or watch me when I am on a tether in the yard. At my foster home they use a tether for my small potty trips or just to let me lounge in the yard and I do great on it as I can easily jump their fence. Most of the time I just want to be out in the sun catching some rays.
If you are interested in adopting Buddy, please apply online at digsk9.org.
Buddy is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $300.
