Original:
When their New Jersey owner was forced to give up some of her dogs, Buddy Bruno and his son Willy were surrendered to a New Jersey shelter. Then, MAESSR was contacted to find homes for this handsome duo. After being pulled from the shelter, they went directly to be groomed and then moved on to their foster homes.
Buddy is a beautiful, delightful boy full of life and always willing to please, although he is a little shy at first. He knows sit, stay, and down and his foster mom thinks he may read minds as she can just point her finger and he will go to that place and lay down! Exactly what she wanted! So far, Buddy has shown no interest in toys inside the house or out as he only has eyes for his people.
This handsome boy is very good with the other dogs in his foster home and has not been interested in the cats in the home or outside. Buddy is very good on a leash and off leash he is equally as good. He loves to run and play, but will keep coming back to his foster mom, never going too far. This boy definitely needs a home where he can get lots of exercise.
Buddy has free run of the house when his foster Mom must leave and he is very good, never bothering anything. Since the sofa is his favorite place in the world, he probably relaxes there until someone comes home. He doesn’t trash dive or counter-surf and is completely housetrained. What a good boy! He is not a resource guarder and he will give in to the other dogs, waiting his turn for treats or loving.
At night he sleeps on a dog bed beside his foster mom, but has made it quite clear he would rather be in the BIG bed. Since that is not allowed, he is content to use the SMALLER one! This sweet boy will go to any length to please and all he asks in return is a little love.
Buddy is one of those dogs that will keep you laughing and happy with his bright eyes and wagging tail. If you need a special friend, here is your Buddy!
