Buddy is an adorable Chiweenie who is 4-1/2 years old and weighs 15 lbs. He and his brother Rocky are bonded and must be adopted together. They are being fostered in Dunedin, FL.
Buddy is a very sweet, mellow fellow. Buddy and his brother Rocky, who have been together their whole lives, are just so happy to be in their foster home, safe and loved. At only 4 ½ years old, they have been though a lot already. When their owner died and no family member could take them they ended up living outside in a hot metal shed. That all changed and life became so wonderful for them the day they became United Yorkie Rescue dogs. He loves his foster dad and mom very much. He likes to sit with them on the couch. He especially loves to cuddle up with his foster dad.
In spite of all this Buddy and Rocky are super dogs. Buddy’s foster parents learned that Buddy is playful and loving. He loves to give kisses especially to his foster dad. Buddy and his brother enjoy a good game of fetch, tug the toy, as well as running around the backyard together. They get along with other dogs and even with the cat in their foster home.
Buddy is a good car rider and a good eater. Unfortunately, no one took the time to previously leash train or house train him. His foster parents are working on that. He is learning, but it will take more time and patience.
Buddy and Rocky are very bonded to each other and have to be adopted together. They can sometimes be found giving each other a bath. These boys sleep next to each other when they rest during the day and at bedtime at night. They will cuddle up together on the couch. Could anything be sweeter or cuter?
Buddy and Rocky are both so well behaved with their friendly and engaging personalities. If you want double the fun, double the love, and double the kisses these boys will make a wonderful addition to your family. They would be fine in a home with kids 9 years old and over who behave as well as they do. Any family that gets to adopt these young boys will be the luckiest dog owning family ever. In fact they will be doubly lucky!
UPDATED BIO 08/17/2019: Buddy and Rocky arrived in UYR several days ago in just a nick of time. Their previous owner passed away suddenly and family was unable to care for them. Buddy & Rocky did not have the best life in their former home and were kept outside in a hot metal storage shed in the hot summer sun of Florida, along with two other small dogs who have also been rescued by UYR.
These two handsome boys are litter mates, and bonded for life and will need to be adopted together. Even though they are fairly young, they have a sweet and mellow personality. Since arriving in their foster home, we have learned that they are excellent travelers in a car using their harnesses and safety leashes. They get in the car and lay down without so much as a peep out of them. Their laid-back demeanors shine through when getting their baths a well. They are getting along with the other dogs in the foster home, and they just want to lay close to their humans. They aren’t too sure about the cat though and bark when they see her. They may have never seen a kitty before, and that may change in time.
Buddy and Rocky have already seen the vet. They were perfect little patients at the clinic, not showing even a hint of aggression, and they appear to be very healthy. Thankfully both of them were heartworm negative and are very healthy. Their foster parents are just starting to work on house-training, and with frequent outings, they should respond well. The former owners never leash-trained these sweet boys, but they are starting to get the hang of it. Buddy and Rocky are so well-behaved and with their friendly and engaging personalities, they will make a wonderful addition to the right family.
