My story

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

If you don’t love to snuggle and aren’t interested in a best friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, then move along. But really… who doesn’t want those things!? And our perfect Buddy Boy has all that to offer and more!!

Before coming to the shelter, Buddy Boy lived in one home for over three years. He reportedly did well with kiddos and with other large dogs, but will likely do best in a home without small dogs or other small pets. Buddy Boy’s former family described him as playful and affectionate and said that he was housebroken in their home.

“Buddy Boy has been good with the children, is good on car rides, and loves to chew sticks. He knows sit and stay, loves to have his belly rubbed, and is scared of thunderstorms.”

This big softie also has tons of fans at the shelter- here’s what some of them have said:

“Buddy Boy leashed up nicely. He pulled a bit going out, but once he did his business, he settled down into a nice walk. Very sweet boy and takes treats gently.”

“Buddy Boy is a gentle sweetheart and I love taking him and his kennelmate to the yard. He`s attentive and looks back to me often. He has the best ears and he gives loving eye contact.”

“I adore Buddy Boy- he is definitely one of my favorites! He is sweet and loving and wants nothing more than snuggles and attention from his human friends. Such a sweetheart!!”

Buddy Boy shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ask to meet Buddy Boy today!!
