Buddy - CT - Chihuahua and Rat Terrier Dog for Adoption in Bryan, Texas

Buddy may have had a rough first impression at the shelter, but don't let that fool you. This little guy has one of the biggest hearts around.

When Buddy arrived at the shelter, he was absolutely terrified. The unfamiliar sights, sounds, and stress left him so scared that he became snappy with staff. Once he was given the chance to decompress in a loving foster home, though, his true personality shined through... and it's impossible not to fall in love with him.

Buddy is a gentle little gentleman who loves nothing more than snuggling under the covers with his favorite person. If you're looking for a tiny cuddle buddy who wants to be close, Buddy is more than happy to fill that role. He's also the self-appointed "activity police," occasionally letting the younger dogs know when he thinks playtime has gotten a little too rowdy.

Like many older dogs, Buddy appreciates having his boundaries respected. He may grumble or gently mouth if he's feeling bothered, but he's never bitten his foster mom. Because of this, he'd do best in a home with adults or older, dog-savvy children who understand that every dog deserves a little personal space.

Buddy is house trained, gets along well with people and other dogs, and has wonderful house manners. He's happiest curled up in bed beside his person, soaking up pets and enjoying the quiet life.

The part we can't understand? Buddy has received zero adoption applications. We know the perfect person is out there. Maybe they just haven't met him yet.

If you're looking for a loyal little companion with a heart full of love and a lap full of cuddles to give, Buddy is waiting to meet you.

Buddy is currently being fostered in Bryan, Texas, but don't let distance stop you. We offer nationwide transport to the nearest major city at no additional cost, making it easy for the right family to welcome him home, no matter where you live.
