Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy was surrendered to the rescue when the person who was caring for him decided it wasn't going to work for them to keep him long term. They asked if we could take him and find him a forever home where he could be spoiled and loved. Buddy is very sweet and a friendly, happy little guy. We think he is a papillon/chihuahua mix but whatever he is, he is as cute as he can be- inside and out. Buddy rides well in a car and would make a great traveling companion. Buddy walks on a leash and generally does his business quickly. He seems to be crate trained but if left too long, he may have an accident. He was just neutered so, as an adult male of approx 2 years of age,he does mark. That should subside once the hormones get out of his system. Buddy gets along well with other dogs, and should do fine with kids and cats as he has a very gentle nature. Because of his smaller,petite size, we would recommend older children who would understand to be gentle with him as well. Buddy loves attention and he loves to be with you! He will be a fabulous companion dog! Buddy saw the vet on 7/12/23. He did not have any issues noted on his exam and tested negative for heartworms. He did test positive for hookworms so we have dewormed him with drontal. He may need a follow up dewormer in 3 weeks. He weighed 11 pounds as of 7/12/23.
If interested in giving Buddy his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Buddy's adoption fee will be $300 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will accept applications thru 7/21/23. We expect a high volume of interest for Buddy and will be accepting applications for him prior to making our final decision for placement. Please be patient as we try to wade thru the interest and applications to find his best match.
