My story

She is a sweet and affectionate companion who really enjoys being close to her people. Because she has experienced a lot of stress in the past, loud noises or yelling can make her nervous, and in those moments she’ll often come over looking for cuddles and reassurance. Buddy is also house-trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside, which makes daily routines much easier. She definitely has a soft spot for the occasional table scrap and loves being included when her humans are around the kitchen. Like many dogs, she has her funny moments too—she can act a little silly sometimes and somehow turns into a surprisingly talented escape artist whenever bath time is coming up. Fun facts: Her satellite sized ears can hear a chip bag open from miles away. Overall, Buddy is a loving, playful dog who just wants to have fun, feel safe, and spend time with people who care about her.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Buddy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
