My name is Buddy!

Hello everyone meet Buddy this sweet boy is a classic black and tan GSD and a year old. He loves to play fetch chase but is very calm in the house. He's house trained crate trained a good leash walker and car rider. He's currently living with small medium and large dogs. In his forever home he would do well with a rough and tumble player he's probably too rough to only live with small dogs but if there's a dog he can play with he will leave small dogs alone. He is very shy initially with new people (men more than women) and will need a family that will give him time to adjust and when he does you'll have a very affectionate boy. The noise and movements of children cause him significant anxiety so he needs a quieter home with no children. Although he LOVES to go for a walk he's not currently confident enough to go to high traffic areas and wouldn't enjoy dog friendly bars/restaurants etc. Consider Buddy a home body who enjoys a walk in his neighborhood. He is a high flight risk dog and will need a fenced yard to make sure he's safe. He has a high prey drive so no cats. He would be okay as an only dog. Buddy had a rough start in life and he continues to work on overcoming his fears he just needs a family that will continue his journey to become a confident boy.
