About This Dog

Buddy's ideal home

Buddy is a gentle and sensitive boy who is looking for a calm home where he can take his time to settle and feel safe. He can find new situations a little overwhelming at first, so he’ll need patient adopters who are happy to let him go at his own pace.
He can live with children aged 16+ and would prefer to be the only pet in the home, giving him the space he needs to build his confidence. Buddy will need someone around initially to help him settle, with his leaving time introduced gradually.
Buddy would really benefit from a home that can provide a predictable routine and a few quiet, cozy spaces, helping him feel secure as he adjusts. He may need a little support around sharing and resources, so understanding owners who can guide him gently will help him thrive.

Could you be Buddy's perfect match?

Buddy is a soft-natured boy with a lovely, affectionate side just waiting to shine. As he grows in confidence, he begins to enjoy a fuss, gentle play, and spending time with his people.
He enjoys his walks and will feel happiest exploring in quieter areas, where he can relax and take in the world at his own pace. Buddy travels well in the car, making him a great companion for peaceful days out.
There’s something really special about watching a dog like Buddy come out of their shell. With patience, kindness, and a little reassurance, he will grow into a loyal and deeply rewarding companion
