Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Buddy, a handsome young Sheltie who’s full of energy, brains, and heart! He taller than the average Sheltie so he looks more like a small Collie, and he’s just as sweet as he is good-looking. He is 35lbs and 22' at the shoulder. Buddy is great with other dogs and dog-savvy cats (though if the cat runs, the chase is on!). He’s a bit shy at first, but once he feels safe, his playful, affectionate side shines through. New places and noises can still be a little intimidating for him, so patience and gentle encouragement are key. He’s crate trained—and really needs his crate, since he’s a curious boy who likes to “help” by checking out anything within reach. (Blankets, toys, tissues... you name it!) Buddy has plenty of that classic Sheltie energy, loves to play fetch, and will thrive in a home that keeps both his body and his mind busy. Buddy walks nicely on a leash, but vehicles are a challenge—his herding instincts kick into high gear when cars go by. He’ll need continued training to work through this, and we’re looking for an experienced owner or someone committed to working with a trainer to help him with his vehicle reactivity. He’s already attended Puppy Kindergarten and Canine Good Citizen classes and was just one session away from earning his CGC certificate! Buddy is a bright, active, loving young dog who just needs guidance and structure to become the amazing companion he’s meant to be. Could you be the right home for Buddy? Buddy is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea/heartworm preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet. Applications are the first step in the adoption process. Please do not call or email simply to express interest. We are all volunteers and receiving your application saves us time and helps to determine the best match for both people and dogs. We provide as much information as we currently have on each dog in their description. For questions on the adoption process, including fees, please review the Adoption page. If you have additional questions or are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application. Once we receive your application someone will be in touch to answer your questions. We do not arrange visits to meet dogs without an application. If you'd like to meet a variety of dogs without filling out an application please attend one of our events, listed under the events link. Thank you!November 5, 2025, 10:10 am
