My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey, I'm Buddy, and I would give anything to be YOUR best Buddy! I was at another rescue before my time at ACAR, and the staff loved me sooo much, but I'm very hopeful Gainesville will be where my forever family will finally find me! I am fully housebroken, I know sit, down, and come when I'm called, and I'm an excellent leash walker. I've been known to take a dip in a kiddie pool from time to time and get really enthusiastic about splashing! I am a bit of a fiend for toys and will collect them ALL, though I do better with tough toys, teehee. I am respectful of other dogs when I'm out and about on walks, but I do not like to share my personal bubble and would much prefer a home without other pets, please. I just adore people and would do anything to share all of my love with you. Please ask to meet me today, so we can fall in love!
