Buddy

My story

PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Meet Buddy! Buddy is a 5-year-old, 20 pound “Chug” (Chihuahua/Pug mix) with a lovely underbite! Buddy loves everybody—and meeting new people is truly his favorite pastime. He’s great with women, men, kids, other dogs, and even cats (he may try to chase them, but he will not hurt them). Buddy would thrive in a home with another playful dog, a securely fenced yard for zoomies, and at least one person home most of the time to keep him company. Buddy is a huge fan of car rides and enjoys playing with toys (he has favorites, but squeaky toys aren’t his thing). In the evenings, his ideal spot is right next to you—head in your lap or sprawled on his back by your leg, happily soaking up tummy rubs. He loves evening walks and takes his time sniffing and “marking” every bush… even when there’s nothing left to give. While Buddy adores affection—pets, belly rubs, ear scratches, kisses—he doesn’t like being restrained or held tightly and will grumble to let you know. He’ll bark when someone’s at the door, but otherwise he’s a quiet guy, even around other dogs. Buddy knows basic commands like sit, stay, and release (especially when toys are involved). He’s best described as a total lover: playful with dogs, enthusiastic about fetch, eager to meet new people, and happiest when he’s with his family. When excited, he does adorable standing jumps and bursts into zoomies when visitors arrive or his people come home. Buddy gives kisses generously—but he does respect boundaries and will stop if told “no licking.” Even then, you can tell he’s holding back a whole lot of love. Buddy is ready to share that love with a forever family of his own.  Buddy is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.  Buddy's adoption fee is $250.00.
