Ruff Ruff! My name is Buddy Ray

I was owned by a nice lady who moved from her parents’ home where there were people and other dogs all the time into an apartment where I was by myself for long periods of the day. I got scared being by myself for so long and did some things I guess I shouldn’t have done. I wasn’t able to stay with her any longer.

The nice folks at Valley Dogs took me in. I am in a foster home now with other dogs. There is only one human at my foster home, and even though she is gone for long periods of the day, I have exhibited no problems. Having the other dogs to play with keeps me from getting bored and I don’t get scared since I am not all alone. Therefore, I must go to a home where the humans are home all the time or that has another dog to keep me company.

I am a very happy little guy. My ears are always perked up listening for you and my tail goes a mile a minute to show my joy. Sometimes I even smile. Mind you, I can be a bit timid of new people and new dogs at first, but just give me a little time to warm up and you will see this joyful, devoted, loving side of me.

I am house broken and have even been seen using the potty patch at my foster mom’s house. I love going for walks and seeing the world with you, but my favorite thing is to spend time with my humans. I love to cuddle, sit on laps, and soak in all the attention you can give me. I really love to sleep curled up next to you at night under the covers -- just to make sure you don’t get scared.

Hmmm, what else can I tell you about me? Ah shucks, why don’t you just come down and meet me. Be sure to ask for Buddy Ray.
