Buddy Kringle

Hi there! I’m Buddy, and I’m a big, sweet, goofy guy who’s been through quite a lot, but I’m all healed up and ready for my forever home! I was hit by a car, but don’t worry – I had surgery to fix my leg, and I’m doing great now! I’ve got a calm, laid-back attitude and love to cuddle, though I do enjoy the occasional goofy moment. I’m not really food-motivated, but I’ll happily munch on some yummy treats, especially if it’s a piece of BBQ sandwich – that’s my magic pill disguise!

I get along great with everyone – adults, kids, other dogs, and even kitties. I’m a social butterfly who loves going to dog-friendly spots and just hanging out. I’m an easy-going guy, though I’ve got a bit of a mischievous side, like when I snuck a butter container off the trash (oops!).

While I’m recovering from surgeries, I’ve been a couch potato most of the time, but I enjoy my daily strolls. I’m excellent on the leash – no pulling, just a slow, steady walk, especially around the cars, which I’m still a little cautious about.

I’m house-trained and a total pro at being patient for my meals. I don’t beg, but I sure do know how to get comfy on a dog bed or the floor (and even on the couch if I’m feeling fancy). I love belly rubs and being brushed – I’m a sucker for affection. And I’m learning fast – I know my name and basic commands, and I’m smart enough to follow along with whatever life throws my way.

I think I’d make a fantastic therapy dog or companion for someone who needs a calm, loving buddy. I’m just looking for a home where I can be safe, loved, and maybe even help someone out with my special skills. Could that be with you? I promise to be the best friend you could ever ask for.
