Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Buddy, Buddy is a 1.6 year old Australian Cattle Dog blend. He weighs 63 pounds.
Buddy is Participating in our Adopt From Home program, here is what his owner has to say about him,
"Hi, meet Buddy! He is a Heeler Mix and as loving as can be! He is the most loyal dog I have ever seen and loves to be included in everyday activities. He has been a blessing to have as a sidekick but unfortunately, I'm going to have some work changes that won't allow me to see him as often as I should. So hopefully he can become your new sidekick! I adopted the dog about 5 months ago from West Valley Humane Society, very little is known about him such as age and breed and is primarily a heeler mixed with another breed. He has been great around all people but does not seem to like other male dogs at first. After acclimating him and another male dog together they did fine but at first, it seems they don't wanna get along. He has done great with female dogs though! He knows basic commands like sit, lay down, shake hands, stay, and roll over and he does amazing in the house! He does not like to be left alone though. He has gotten used to the outdoor kennel I have for him (which I'll give to you if you'd like it) and whenever I have to go somewhere that's where he stays. Overall he has been a great dog to have around and know someone will love to have him! Please let me know if you'd like to come see him, he'd love to see you! My number is (707)-951-4670"
Buddy will need an indoor home and a secure containment area to stay safe from wandering and escaping. Positive reinforcement, fear-free training will be needed. Daily exercise and mental enrichment will be very important. If you have other dogs in your home, we would be happy to arrange a meet and greet with your dog(s) to make sure everyone gets along. We do not know how he will do with cats.
Buddy is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and ready to go home today.
If you are interested in meeting Buddy, please reach out to Tanner at (707)-951-4670
