Buddy

My story

HI HI HI! I’M BUDDY! WANNA BE BEST FRIENDS?! &#226&#154&#161 Hey there, future best friend! My name is Buddy, and I’m an 8-month-old Springer Spaniel/Border Collie mix with a personality that’s bigger than my paws and a heart that’s ready to explode with love. I’ve got one speed—FULL BLAST—and I’m not afraid to use it! Whether I’m zooming around the yard, chasing a toy, or bouncing up to greet you with the biggest tail wags you’ve ever seen, I’m all in. Life is exciting, and I want to share every moment of it with YOU! I may not remember much about my past (I was found as a stray), but I know exactly what I want for my future: a forever family who will love me, play with me, teach me cool stuff, and maybe sneak me a treat or two when I’m being extra adorable. I’m ready to start this new chapter, and I hope it begins with you. So, what’s the deal with me? Let me give you the inside scoop: Food is my love language. I’m super food motivated—like, “inhale first, chew later” kind of motivated. That means training me is going to be a breeze if you’ve got treats in hand. I’ll do just about anything for a tasty snack, and I’m eager to learn all the good doggy manners you want to teach me. I’m a social butterfly with rocket boosters. When people give me attention, I get SO EXCITED that I sometimes forget my manners and jump up to say hi. I’m working on it, I promise! I just want to be close to you and make you smile. If you gently remind me to keep all four paws on the ground, I’ll listen—because making you happy is my favorite thing. &#226&#154&#161 Zoomies are my specialty. I do everything at warp speed—running, playing, thinking (okay, sometimes I skip that last one). I’m just so thrilled to be alive and surrounded by love that I can’t help but go all out. If you’re looking for a pup who will keep you active and entertained, I’m your guy. I’m still learning the ropes. I haven’t had much experience with leashes, houses, or rules, but I’m a quick learner. I just need someone patient, kind, and consistent to help me understand how to be the best boy I can be. I’m eager to please and ready to soak up all the guidance you can give. Cats? Not sure yet! I haven’t met any feline friends, so I’m not sure how I’ll react. But I’m always up for new adventures and making new buddies—so with proper introductions, who knows? I’m ready to go! I’m already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so I’m all set to head home with you TODAY. No waiting, no fuss—just pack the snacks and let’s ride! If you’re searching for a fun-loving, goofy, loyal companion who will fill your days with laughter, energy, and unconditional love, look no further. I’m Buddy, and I’m ready to be your sidekick, your jogging buddy, your cuddle monster, and your best friend. Let’s meet! Email mike@caaronline.org to set up a time to hang out. I’ll bring the zoomies—you bring the snacks. Together, we’ll make every day an adventure. Can’t wait to meet you and start our journey together!
