For Adoption: Budsy!
Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle.
We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows
for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process.

Budsy is a handsome Yorkie/ShihTzu mixed boy estimated to be 7 years old. He is a small boy, weighing 12 lbs. Budsy has expressive eyes and a scruffy face making him oh so lovable. He is an affectionate, loyal companion with a sweet nature and a calm but funny presence in the home. His name “Budsy” fits him perfectly because he truly wants to be everyone’s little buddy and companion.
Budsy came from a Quebec shelter, and little is known about his past. Despite whatever uncertainty he experienced before rescue, Budsy has shown himself to be resilient, affectionate, and eager to connect with people. He will benefit from a patient adopter who can continue building his confidence through routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency.
Budsy would do well in a variety of home environments. He enjoys spending time outside, and will happily lay around while you garden in the yard. Budsy has low to medium energy. He enjoys walks, but also lounging on the couch. He is food and treat motivated, which makes training rewarding for him. Budsy has done well with crate training. He will only bark out of excitement of seeing you, or to get your attention.
One of Budsy’s best traits is how affectionate and loving he is. He enjoys being close by, soaking up attention, and spending quiet time relaxing after exercise. Budsy has adapted very well to foster home life and enjoys having a comfortable place to rest. Grooming has been manageable, and he tolerates handling well. He is a dog that will require professional grooming every few months and regular brushing to keep him tidy. Budsy has also enjoys car rides and continues gaining confidence with new experiences.
Budsy has been great with the other dog in his foster home and enjoys canine companionship. He has shown appropriate social behaviour and would likely do well with another respectful dog after proper introductions. He would also be fine being the only dog in the home. His response to cats is unknown at this time. On walks, Budsy may show interest in dogs, but he is not reactive.
Budsy would likely do well with older children, over 8yrs of age, who will honour his boundaries during play. Budsy is still learning how to play appropriately and needs more practice with this. He isn’t one for rough housing or a lot of play though and preference will be given to an adult only home that his calm and quiet.
Budsy being highly treat motivated, he can sometimes take treats swiftly. Treats are best served with open palm until he understands treats are in abundance and what the expectations are. Budsy will do well in a positive reinforcement training school where treats are used as an initial motivator. He works eagerly for food!! Post adoption training is required for our adopters and Budsy will enjoy and benefit from the social aspects of this as well as the learning.
Budsy has received veterinary care since entering rescue, including vaccinations, a neuter and dental work. He has handled veterinary visits well and continues to settle nicely into a healthy routine. At this time, there are no major health concerns.
Budsy is a scruffy love bug of a dog looking for a forever home where he can continue building confidence and enjoying the good life. He will thrive with adopters who can provide consistency, regular exercise, and lots of affection. Budsy’s combination of sweet affection, adaptable energy level, and eagerness to learn make him a wonderful companion. If you are looking for a loyal best friend who wants nothing more than to be your buddy through adventures and quiet evenings at home, Budsy may be the perfect match.
