My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Buddy! This 6 year old hunk of love is ready to be your new best friend.

Buddy isn’t very conscious of his size, and he’s not very graceful. He loves to explore and will consider walking into just about any space to see what’s up including, but not limited to: that tiny corner between the couch and the wall, the bathtub, the closet, and even the dishwasher. He has the attention span of a toddler with a sugar rush and is best described as a clumsy, benign Godzilla who cruises around accidentally crashing into things.

Don’t take that the wrong way- Buddy isn’t a master of destruction by any means. You can leave this good boy unsupervised and he isn’t going to eat your couch, your shoes, your electronics, or your kids’ homework. He’s just probably (definitely) going to walk into that floor lamp, trip on that amazon box, and maybe knock some things over.

While Buddy likes to stay busy, he’s not an energetic basket case who is going to exhaust you. He has plenty of pep, but he’s at his happiest by your side whether on an adventure or binge watching TV while curled up in the laundry basket trying to convince you he deserves some popcorn.

This boy is a 70lb heated blanket ready to snuggle all night long. He sleeps through the night and doesn’t even snore too loud!

Buddy is great with other dogs- he has excellent manners and is very respectful of his grumpy foster siblings when they tell him to go away (although disappointed). He’d love a dog friend to play with, but he does run out of steam pretty quick (or just gets distracted)!

Email Buddy’s foster mom at maria.anselmo@Montgomerycountymd.gov for more information on Buddy.

You can find more photos and videos of Buddy here (including his `if I fits I sits` cat impression in the laundry basket): https://photos.app.goo.gl/swKiW6K12bKVmmu79
