Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy is a sweet little 8-9 pound young guy who has been decompressing in his foster home for over a year now. He requires the humans in his life to have patience with him. If you are looking for an instant dog, just add water, this isn't the dog for you. He must have had a terrifying start to life, he spent a lot of the first few months with us hiding when possible.
Buddy will make a great dog for a human or family who takes the time to let him be himself and learn to trust them. He does well in small dog playgroups, and would likely come around much faster with another calm dog in his adoptive home that can show him the ropes, so that is an ideal situation for him. Buddy will not be placed in a home without another well-socialized, friendly dog.He will also need a secure yard and entries and exits to the home. Like Fort Knox secure. His hobby in his past life was to escape, which in the last case was to his benefit since he escaped the shelter and we took him into our rescue.
Buddy is very treat motivated, which is helpful since he isn't totally sure of us big people... but food is the magic that makes him forget he is scared. Buddy is a work in progress, but aren't we all? Buddy is crate trained and very quiet inside the house. Outside he will alert bark that is all. At this time we would suggest a no child home for him, as he does scare easily. This could change in time, but for now he prefers a calm environment. He has not been cat tested. Don't let our honesty scare you. The best dogs are often these little tough cases where you have to actually earn their love and loyalty.
Buddy's ideal home:
-Secure fencing and exist-Patient and calm family-No kids-Another well rounded dog buddy to hang out with-Buddy is way more likely to initially bond with a female human than a male human.
If you are interested in Buddy, Please fill out OUR adoption application, we do not accept Adopt-a-Pet applications. Our application is located on our website www.k9spirit.org
Thank you for taking the time to read, we know applying to adopt a dog has become a crazy process these days. We will always place our rescue with the absolute best possible home for each specific dog.
