Meet Buddy

Meet Buddy, a gentle, lovable 8-year-old Collie/Great Pyrenees mix with a heart as big as his fluffy coat! Buddy’s life on a working farm has shaped him into a loyal, well-mannered companion who’s learning to navigate his new life off the farm. Weighing around 80 pounds, he’s a large dog with a soft, tri-color sable coat that will require daily grooming to prevent matting and keep him looking his best.Buddy is a peaceful soul who cherishes time with his people, whether it’s going for leisurely walks, exploring a fenced yard, or curling up on the couch. He has a calm energy most of the time but occasionally bursts into puppy-like playfulness, bouncing around with his favorite bouncy toy or pouncing at his plush toys. While he gets along with other dogs after a slow introduction, he prefers calm, respectful dogs who aren’t too pushy or high-energy. Buddy is also great with kids, though he appreciates gentle handling and a calm environment when he’s ready to relax.Though Buddy is crate-trained, he’s never been confined in one before and may need time to adjust. He’s vocal and isn’t shy about expressing himself—especially when he wants to join you in a room he doesn’t have access to, or when he spots animals outside that spark his protective instincts. Due to his love for the outdoors and his protective nature, a fenced yard is essential, allowing him the freedom to move and explore in a safe space without being tied out.Buddy’s medical needs include daily grooming, regular nail trims, and joint supplements to keep him comfortable and healthy. He tested positive for anaplasmosis (a tick-borne infection) and is on a course of antibiotics. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts calm and playful, Buddy could be your perfect match!
