Notes: Urgent: Buddy Needs a Home.

Buddy is a sweet, playful pup around 1 year old who is ready to find his forever family. He is already neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and fully potty trained, so he is all set to go. He loves toys (especially squeaky ones), walks nicely on a leash, and has experience living with both dogs and children. Buddy can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and shows his loving personality in no time.

Great news: his foster has already covered his adoption fee. All Buddy needs now is someone to give him the loving home he deserves. If you would like to meet Buddy, please call the shelter at 276-236-8501 to schedule a visit.
