Story
Hi there, my name is Buddy. I’m a senior Golden Retriever with a heart as golden as my fur. I’ve had a full life already, and now I’m hoping for a soft place to land where I can spend my golden years feeling safe, loved, and part of a family again. For most of my life, I was an indoor dog and knew all about house manners. The last couple of years were a little different for me—I lived outside, and that’s made me a bit confused about where I’m supposed to potty now. I’m trying my best, but I’ll need a patient adopter who can help me remember the ropes and gently guide me as I relearn indoor life. I’ve recently been neutered, which should help with some of my marking habits too. I’m a very sweet, affectionate guy who truly enjoys people. I love attention, pets, and being close—sometimes I’ll just sit right at your feet to soak it all in. Treats are one of my greatest joys (I never say no to snacks!), and I know a couple of basic cues like sit and paw. I’ve lived happily with kids and another dog before, and I’m friendly with other dogs when properly introduced. Cats, though, aren’t really my thing. Because I’ve spent so much time outdoors, I’m looking for a home with a fully fenced backyard. That outdoor space will help me feel comfortable and confident as I transition back into being an indoor dog again. Having a yard will make learning and adjusting much easier for me. I can be a little unsure in new situations at first, but once I know I’m safe, my gentle, loving personality shines through. I’m not asking for perfection—just understanding, patience, and kindness. In return, I’ll give you loyalty, warmth, and the kind of companionship only a senior dog can offer. If you’re looking for a sweet soul who’s ready for his second chance, apply for me today!
