Story
Meet Buddy the Elf - the cutest little sidekick around! Buddy is estimated to be 5 years old, and he is an adorable little man with a heart full of love. He is a cheerful guy who loves cuddles, playtime, and tasty treats. He is always wagging his tail and is happy to join along for whatever the day brings. Buddy weighs about 9lbs. Buddy was found as a stray and found himself at a Central California animal shelter. We were rescuing another pup from the shelter he was at, and were happy to have him tag along and join the rescue, too. He has been thriving in foster care and has been charming us all with his affectionate personality. Like his namesake, Buddy loves to socialize and is quick to make new friends, both human and dog. He loves to stroll around downtown Davis with his foster mom and is a great little walking buddy. Buddy is also a total lap dog and is happy to stay cozy with you on the couch on cold nights. He will get bursts of puppy energy and loves to play with his toys and the resident dog in his foster home. He is a moderate-energy pup who would be a wonderful companion for a first-time dog owner. Buddy has done great living with a larger dog and could be a great friend for a pup wanting a brother. He also probably wouldn't mind being the center of attention as the only dog. We haven't seen Buddy around cats, but we suspect that he would do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction. Buddy could be a great addition to a family with kids 10 years and older. Buddy has been doing great with his house and crate training. He is content to hang out in his crate during the work day and sleeps in there overnight, although he would be more than happy to cuddle in bed with you if you let him. Buddy could do well living in an apartment with proper daily exercise. Buddy is such a wonderful little guy, and he can't wait to find his fur-ever family! If you think that might be you, submit an application today! Buddy's adoption fee is $250. Apply to adopt here! https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/ Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org) It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org. For more general questions, please see our website at www.yolospca.org. December 10, 2025, 10:51 pm
