Buddy is a handsome 2-1/2 year old male Boxer/Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 7, 2024 by a Good Samaritan after he had been found at a residence on Florence Street in Belpre Ohio (and might possibly have been left there by his owner).
Buddy has a black-and-brown short smooth coat with a large white bib on his chest, a long tail, and a beautiful face with dark brown eyes which beg for attention, black shading on his short muzzle, and large floppy ears.
Buddy appears to have a calm, quiet disposition and a sweet, easygoing personality. He was a well-behaved boy and serenely gazed at the camera (or perhaps at the photographer for attention) when these photos were taken on April 9th.
Buddy is reported to be good with children, and he is housebroken.
Buddy weighs 53 lbs. He has already been neutered.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Buddy was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. As of April 10th, nobody had called or came looking for this awesome dog.
