My name is Buddy!

This is very hard for us, but we want to find the best home for Buddy. We rescued him at about 5 months after he’d been hurt by other dogs, and we’ve loved him deeply ever since. He’s a sweet, happy boy who adores cuddles, playtime, and does amazing with our female Golden Retriever. His challenge is leash reactivity. He doesn’t respond to standard collars, and even with a harness he becomes reactive around people and dogs. Off-leash he’s wonderful, friendly, and playful, and he thrived when he had a yard and space to explore. Apartment living and stairs have made things harder, especially when my husband travels for weeks at a time. We want Buddy to have a home where he can feel confident and understood. He needs someone familiar with Chow mixes or protective breeds who can give him structure, patience, and love. We could never send him to a shelter. We just want him safe, happy, and with someone who truly sees his heart.
