My personality

My story

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

To apply or learn more about Buddy, go to:
https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/buddy-fozzy

Buddy (Formerly known as Fozzy) was adopted through HFP 3 years ago, but now in need of a new home.

He is an easy going guy who would do wonderful in a quiet suburban neighborhood. He loves naps and spends much of the day sleeping on the couch.

While Buddy did well meeting dogs 3 years ago while in our program, he has been reactive towards dogs since being adopted and should be an only dog in the home.

He is very happy without dogs and will live a very happy life with humans but does not need to interact with dogs. Buddy is very sweet to all people.

He would do well in a home with kids 10+ . Housetrained, no separation anxiety, moderate energy and well behaved!

Adoption Donation Sponsored by HFP. You might be wondering what “sponsored” means. A dog is sponsored when their foster or a donor loves them so much that they cover the adoption donation for a future adopter. This in hopes that the pup finds his or her forever family ASAP! <3

Original Bio 2020:

MEET Fozzy — A pit bull mix rescued from Porterville shelter where he was found as a stray so we do not know much about is his life prior to HFP.

Fozzy is vetted, neutered, vaccinated, chipped, hw/fecal test, and housetrained

This squishy and beautiful pittie is an excellent mix of walking/workout buddy and couch potato/WFH companion.

Fozzy would do best in a quiet, calm but moderately active home in a quiet neighborhood with adults and or older teens (only because loud and sudden noises kids make could startle him).

He has tested well with dogs at his original shelter, as well as HFP dogs. He does best meeting calm and friendly dogs & can be nervous around more rambunctious dogs.

He would be happy to be only pet in the home — he simply wants to be someones lap dog!

No cats for Mr. Fozzy as they are way too fun to chase!

Good in the car and excellent traveling to new places.

Takes treats gently + Treat motivated to help with continued training. Fozzy is also praise-motivated and eager to please! he has great potential to continue to blossom into a wonderful dog in the right home! his foster moms absolutely adore him.


Buddy is currently being fostered in ELK GROVE, CA.
Estimated DOB: 2/2/2016

For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
