Buddy

Buddy is a gentle soul who might be a little shy when you first meet him but give him a little time and you'll discover a sweet, playful boy just waiting to shine. He's the kind of dog who likes to take things at his own pace, and once he feels safe, his lovely personality really starts to blossom. He's even mastered "sit" and is always happy to earn a bit of praise for his good manners.

True to his name, Buddy is looking for a best buddy of his own. He absolutely thrives in the company of other dogs and would love a calm, confident canine companion to show him the ropes. Alternatively, he'd also suit someone who is home most of the time and can patiently guide him as he continues to build his confidence. One thing he's already confident about is car rides. He loves hopping in the car and would happily become your favourite travel buddy for adventures big and small.

Buddy would be happiest in a relaxed, single-storey home where life isn't too hectic. Due to his gentle and sensitive nature, a home with teenage children would be the best fit. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little encouragement to become your shadow, Buddy is ready to prove that life really is better with a Buddy by your side.
