My story

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

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org

Meet Buddy the Elf - 30 Pounds of Goofy, Galloping Joy!!

No, not that Buddy the Elf - but this one! And this one might be even better (and he doesn't need maple syrup on spaghetti).

Buddy is a 10-month-old German Pinscher/Basenji (yes, he can bark but is normally very quiet) mix who's basically the lovechild of a weekend hiker, a stand-up comedian, and a professional snuggler. Weighing in at 30ish lbs, he's the perfect size for both Netflix marathons and off-leash camping adventures - and yes, he's mastered the art of name recall, which means... when you call him, he actually shows up (take that, toddlers).

This goofy little elf is:

- A total water bug (sprinklers? puddles? kiddie pool? He's in.)

- Dog-social and the life of the four-legged party

- Sweet, snuggly, and hilariously expressive

- A hiking buddy who sticks with his people like Velcro with legs

We don't know how he feels about cats or kids yet, but if they like laughter, tail wags, and the occasional zoomie, we're optimistic.

Buddy's dream home is one with an active, loving family who won't mind sharing the couch, the trail, or their heart with a pup whose entire vibe is a joy filled and loyal adventure buddy. Bonus points if you appreciate a dog who lives life like every day is a snow day in the North Pole.

Ready to laugh every day and never pee alone again?
Buddy the Elf is ready to move in.

All you need to do now is stop scrolling and fill out his adoption application that can be found at haydudeequine.org and Buddy will take it from there!!
