Meet Buddy 💙 — gentle, sweet, and learning what “safe” feels like.
Buddy didn’t have an easy start. He was found on the freeway, underweight and overwhelmed, but somehow he’s still one of the softest, kindest souls you’ll ever meet.
This shy, submissive boy is incredibly people-oriented and finds comfort in calm, quiet spaces. He loves being near his humans — not demanding attention, just happy to exist beside you while he soaks in the peace. His affection is subtle, tender, and incredibly endearing.
Buddy is working on gaining weight and is doing great with several small meals throughout the day. As he gets stronger, his confidence is slowly growing too. He’s curious, gentle, and quietly resilient.
He does very well in his crate and sees it as a safe place. He’s mostly potty trained, with a little marking that’s expected to improve once he’s neutered. Buddy walks nicely on leash, manages stairs easily, and rides calmly in the car.
With other dogs, Buddy is polite and cautious — friendly but respectful, especially around bigger or more confident pups. Because of everything he’s been through, he’d do best in a calm adult-only home or a home with older, gentle children, where he can continue to heal at his own pace.
Buddy isn’t looking for chaos or excitement. He’s looking for kindness, patience, and a soft place to land. In return, he’ll give you quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and the kind of love that grows deeper every day.
If you believe the gentlest hearts deserve the safest homes, Buddy may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
