Meet Buddyboy, a loving boy who’s ready for a fresh start. Found in a park and cherished by his finder for a few months, Buddy is now in our care when they realized they couldn’t dedicate the time to him he desired.
Buddy loves people —hopping onto laps for snuggles and leaning in for pets, showing his sweet and trusting side.
Buddy takes treats gently and likes to show off his ‘sit’ skills. He’s looking for an adopter who can offer the understanding and stability he needs to thrive. Are you the one to give Buddy the love and care he’s been waiting for?
Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet Buddyboy at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Behavior notes:
01/21/2025 staff notes:
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Buddy was laying by the door of his kennel when approaching. When the handler called to him he began to whine, paw, and leap at the door. He was spinning in circles and continuously jumping on the door and trying to push out for leashing. The handler used a very high and wide loop to get the leash over his head. Once secured came out of his kennel easily.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls very strongly
HANDLING :
In the room Buddy was aroused, but calmed down significantly compared to his kennel presence. He had wide buggy semi soft eyes in the room, was panting, drooling and appeared stressed to be here. He hopped up on my lap for pets when greeting me and was tolerant to all handling, leaning against me and continuing to pant. He let me pet his head, back, sides, and face without any issue and let us adjust his collar. He took treats very gently when offered and showed knowledge of sit. When a male staff member entered the office Buffy began to growl, alert bark, and pull towards him with tense body language. He calmed down after a few minutes of taking treats from him, but does need a slow intro to men!
