Story
Hi, I’m Buffy, and I’m an 11-year-old, 40-pound chocolate Labrador/Standard Poodle mix looking for a soft place to land and a family to love. I’ve been with my family since I was just 12 weeks old, so finding a new home is a very difficult change for all of us. Because of a serious family medical situation, they can no longer give me the safe, stable life I deserve. What they want most is to know I’ll be loved and cared for.
And loving people is something I’m very good at! I’m affectionate, gentle, playful, snuggly, and definitely a bit of a Velcro dog. I’d be happiest in a quiet, loving home where I can stay close to my people and be part of everyday life.
I’m also one smart cookie—especially when treats are involved! I know sit, stay, wait, lay down, up, down, speak, hush, come, drop it, and get it. I even know “shake,” although I might need a little refresher. Food is a great motivator for me, so I’m always willing to work on my skills.
I’m housetrained and can be left loose inside for up to about four hours. At night, I sleep on a blanket near my family’s bed. I can climb stairs and get in and out of the car without help.
I’ve lived with children and cats. I can be friendly and gentle with kids, although sometimes I’m a little nervous. With other dogs I can be friendly but may also feel anxious, so thoughtful introductions would be important. I’m friendly with cats, though I have been known to chase them.
My chocolate coat grows curly and fluffy, and I need regular brushing and grooming to keep me looking and feeling my best.
After spending my whole life as a beloved family dog, I’m hoping for someone who will help make this next chapter feel safe. Give me a quiet home, some tasty treats, a cozy blanket near you, and plenty of love, and I’ll happily return that love right back.
