Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Buddy!
Hey, y'all, my name is Buddy, and that is just what I want to be, YOUR BUDDY! I am a golden oldie now, and that just means I'm so old that my heart is made of pure gold, and I'm so ready to love my forever humans! At just 16 pounds, it's a good thing I don't mind to be carried. Or picked up. Or held, like I should be. I really enjoy being close to my humans, even the tiny humans, if they are nice to me! I also get along with other dogs, but I have never met any cats that my foster mom knows of. Oh, I'm a good boy and do my pottying outside, if I'm on a good schedule.
Since I'm an older gentleman, that comes with some meds for arthritis and my ticker. My joints get a little stiff, so I don't do stairs so well anymore. I don't see or hear too well anymore, or maybe it's just selective hearing. I just really need me someone to love and snuggle with, but will also let me explore and follow them around. I'd really love for my forever humans to be home more often than not, but I understand if you need to leave once in a while too. I'm the most loving little guy and I deserve someone who will love me right back and be committed to making sure I get the care I deserve! Do you have room for a tiny dog bed in your house that I might be able to lay on?
