About BUDDY

**Shelter Disclaimer: These are blind and visually impaired dogs who are in shelters/foster homes affiliated with shelters, and we can make no guarantees regarding their temperament.** Adorable Buddy is in a foster home with Main Line Shelter in Chester Springs, PA. https://mlar.airdriemedia.com/dogs/?id=50845933 https://mlar.airdriemedia.com/ For a video of Buddy, please visit: https://youtu.be/3rtazwlKPf4 ���From Buddy's Shelter: Buddy is a 4 years, 4 months old male Large Mixed Breed who weighs 56 pounds. SEE NO EVIL! HEAR NO EVIL! Our beautiful Buddy may have limited vision & no hearing, but surprisingly he acts like any normal dog. To start with, Buddy has the softest, most velvety, most plushy white coat that is hard to keep your hands off of. Fortunately for Buddy, he adores petting & prolonged cuddles. He is so super affectionate that he will fall asleep in your arms if you keep petting him. But Buddy is an action dog too. You can leash walk him anywhere (he walks very nicely on a leash), & he never bumps into anything. He is very well housebroken & has no trouble finding trees or posts to lift his leg against. And Buddy enjoys a really good run too! In the big fenced yard, Buddy will suddenly get the zoomies & will take off at a furious pace around & around the yard, never bumping into anything. In the Home School Room, Buddy is a whiz at doing dog puzzles in which treats are hidden. He finds every treat & then finds your pocket to see if you might have any extra treats. When he tires of exploring the room, he jumps up onto the couch next to you & will fall asleep if you cuddle him. In some respects, Buddy puts his limitations to his advantage. Because he is deaf, Buddy is immune to the constant barking in the kennel & he finds it easy to maintain his calm disposition. Buddy would love a home with another nice calm dog & a fenced yard for safety. He is really a very well adjusted, joyful, affectionate, playful, & easy going dog who is so grateful for human attention & who will steal your heart as soon as you meet him! Buddy came to the PSPCA in August of 2022 from ACCT in Philly. He came in with TWO other deaf/blind dogs who all came from the same house prior to being surrendered to ACCT when their owner could no longer care for them. They were presumed bonded, but after getting to know them, our team determined they could be separated, as it would be easier to find them homes this way, and they seemed comfortable and happy when apart. Buddy's brothers have since been adopted and he's left waiting for his forever home! Buddy originally had a lot of trouble adjusting to the kennel environment and would spin and bark in his kennel, but has since really settled in and found his rhythm. He sits patiently in his kennel, waiting for friends to take him out. He is friendly with all people and absolutely loves other dogs. He was briefly in a foster home, but unfortunately the foster's resident dog became aggressive towards Buddy, and the foster parent was unable to separate them to prevent her dog from going after Buddy. He was returned to the shelter in December and has been there ever since! Buddy has recently been moved to another foster home. He's a really nice man, we're hoping someone will step up and provide him the TLC he deserves.
