Welcoming Buddy, to the H-E-A-R-T pack! Buddy was a stray in NC. He's approximately 5 1/2 years old and has a lovely temperament! Buddy had many medical issues we've had to address so he's been with us for a while. He required FHO surgery to fix a hip injury he sustained early in life. Likely from trauma of some sort and he was heartworm positive. Now that he's all fixed up, his last step is to find his forever home. Buddy is dog friendly but would also be fine as an only dog. He coexists nicely but isn't a player. He loves human attention and likes to go for car rides. His main goal in life is human affection. Buddy is: Completely housebroken Moderate energy Strong on a leash Good with other dogs Good with children Would be okay being leash walked instead of having a fenced yard Allowed on furniture Not a fan of the vacuum or mop Buddy's ideal home is someone who works from home and has a place for Buddy to lay and sun bathe with the occasional job to chase the bunnies. Buddy loves car rides so would like his human to take him for some rides to sniff his nose out of a cracked window. Someone who likes movie nights in and will let buddy snuggle up against them.  Buddy is being fostered in MD.  Adoption area: NJ to NC.
