Story
Are you ready to bring a little muddy fun and a lot of love into your life? Buddy is a 1-year-old, 70 pound, handsome Old English Sheepdog with a heart full of love and energy to match (well, he is really cute when he hasn’t just had a lot of fun playing outside)! He is looking for a special person to help him grow into the amazing companion he’s meant to be.
Buddy came from a challenging situation—rescued from a hoarding environment alongside his brother, Blue (not yet available for adoption). Due to his past, Buddy missed out on early socialization and training, leaving him with the playful curiosity of a giant 12-week-old puppy. Despite his rocky start, Buddy’s heart is full of love and potential.
About Buddy:
- Puppy Energy Galore: This big guy has an exuberance that will fill your days with joy and adventure.
- Crate Trained & Responsive: He comes when called, listens well, and loves treats—a promising start for continued training!
- Friendly with Time: He may take a little while to warm up to new people but becomes a sweet companion once properly introduced.
- Leash Learning Star: His foster mom says she can walk him on a leash…which is a huge improvement from when he first arrived and she described him as walking a kangaroo on steroids!
What Buddy Needs in his Furever Home:
- An Experienced & Patient Trainer: Buddy needs someone willing to dedicate time and effort to teaching him social skills and structure.
- A Solo Dog Household (NO cats): Buddy prefers to be the center of attention, so he’ll do best as an only pet.
- A Secure, Fenced Yard: He loves the outdoors but needs a safe space to play and explore.
Buddy’s goofy charm, playful nature, and potential for growth make him a fantastic companion for the right person. If you’re ready to give Buddy the love, structure, and home he deserves, he’ll repay you with loyalty and laughter for years to come!
Buddy is located between Rochester and Buffalo NY.
