Happy (named Buddy by his foster) is a really chill dog who just wants to be loved. Buddy is perfectly happy napping all day while his foster dad works but still needs his exercise.

He likes taking in all the city smells on a morning walk and loves to play with his friends daily. While he does well hanging out at home, if he doesn't get enough exercise he will get crazy around bedtime.

Buddy does very well at home alone. He is fully house-trained and doesn't chew on things, so he rarely gets into trouble. Just make sure you don't leave any food out because he will get into it.

Buddy loves meeting new people and loves playing with dogs. While he's very friendly and plays well, he may have had a negative experience with other dogs in the past. He'll do best with a meet and greet before heading to his forever home!

So far Buddy has been living his best life at the gym in the mornings and making friends on the pickle ball courts at night. Come meet this beautiful boy. He'll be happy to move in with you.
Come meet your new best friend
