My name is Buddy!

Sex: Male

Breed: Chihuahua x

Estimated Date of Birth : 09/18/2015

Trust is the corner stone in all relationships and with a shy dog that trust is everything!!! Buddy wants to be your buddy so so bad but he’s scared. He’s scared of this new world he’s not familiar with and he’s scared of all the change he’s currently experiencing after only knowing one home for many years. There’s one thing he’s not scared of and that’s other dogs. He’s absolutely a pack kinda dog and has done great in foster care with his canine friends. We are slowly building on his trust and he’s so patient. He allows all handling and we go slow. There isn’t a mean bone in this little guys body he just needs patient humans who will continue to go slow until he trusts.

Buddy was part of a group of 13 senior pups who lost their long time rescuer when she went on hospice. She was no longer able to care for her animals and they all needed a soft place to land. All 13 are now in foster care with us and waiting for loving forever homes. Buddy is part of this crew and while we work to gain his trust we hope to find an equally patient adopter willing to give a shy sweet boy his forever home.

Buddy gives the sweetest feather kisses and looks up at you with big round unsure eyes that are begging to be understood. While he is very nervous he absolutely wants to be in the rooms the humans are in and is starting to open up more in foster care even initiating play with some of the younger dogs. We know with time this little boy is going to trust completely and when he does he’s going to be completely devoted to the humans who gave him the time he needed. We feel Buddy would do best in a quiet and calm adoptive home with no small children. If you’re looking for a forever companion and willing to give a sweet dog a chance to trust and adjust please consider giving Buddy the chance to be your buddy.
