Buddy’s story began with a loving family who brought him home as a puppy, never expecting that life with a toddler would be a difficult adjustment for him. At 4.5 years old, this Border Collie-Standard Poodle mix is a smart, well-trained, and affectionate dog, but he needs a home that better fits his personality and comfort level.
What Makes Buddy Special?
Buddy recently completed four weeks of board-and-train with a professional trainer, and it shows! He has:
✔️ Excellent leash and house manners
✔️ Knows the ‘place’ command and is e-collar trained (adopters must be familiar with this tool)
✔️ Crate trained and house trained
✔️ Thrives at doggy daycare but prefers to be the only pet at home
What Buddy Needs in a Home
Buddy is a friendly but slightly anxious dog who would do best in a child-free home where he can feel safe and relaxed. While he enjoys playtime with other dogs, he has shown some resource guarding with food and certain toys, so he’d be happiest as an only dog. He has not lived with cats.
Currently, Buddy is doing well in foster care with his daycare owners, where he continues to thrive in a structured environment.
