Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Your New Best Buddy!

***SENIOR*** Buddy is a 9-year-old male Sheltie weighing about 18 pounds. After his beloved owner experienced a medical emergency, Buddy found himself in a shelter through no fault of his own. As you can imagine, this has left him feeling a bit confused and shy. He'll need a patient, understanding person who can give him the time and space he needs to truly blossom.

Buddy is a gentle, sweet soul who happily allows himself to be picked up and brushed. He appears to be house-trained, using a combination of pee pads and outdoor potty breaks. While he's past the chewing stage of puppyhood, he still has a nice bit of energy and enjoys staying active. He gets along well with his small foster dog siblings and will happily join in play when another dog invites him.

After some recent bad luck, Buddy is ready to find a loving forever home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe and cherished. Are you the perfect person to help Buddy bloom?
