Buddy is a sweet and gentle Labrador Retriever, currently six years old. Despite his past, he's eager to form a loving bond with a new family. He is a calm and affectionate companion who enjoys quiet time and gentle interaction. He's ready to bring warmth and loyalty into a patient home.
Labrador Retrievers are renowned for their friendly disposition, intelligence, and even temperaments. They are generally good with children and other pets, making them excellent family dogs. While Buddy is an adult, he still possesses the characteristic Lab desire to please and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. His short coat requires moderate grooming, typically a weekly brush to manage shedding, which is moderate.
Buddy would thrive in a home that understands the needs of an adult Labrador. He requires moderate daily exercise, such as walks or playtime in a secure yard, to keep him happy and healthy. A family committed to continuing his housetraining and providing a stable, loving environment will find a devoted friend in Buddy. He is not yet neutered or vaccinated, so his new family should be prepared to address these needs.
