Buddha is ready to be your best buddy! Sweet, gentle, and easygoing, he is looking for a forever home where he can kick back and relax. Although he can be shy in new situations, Buddha gets along great with people and other dogs.

Check out the cute video of him playing with a five-month-old pup! He will thrive in home with a fenced yard where he can enjoy the great outdoors. In fact, being outside is Buddha's favorite pastime. While he enjoys leash walks, his true passions are running around the yard and relaxing in the sun.

In addition to his sun-bathing snoozes, Buddha sleeps through the night without a peep for up to 10 hours. A quick learner, he is also crate-trained, and rides well in the car.

If you're looking for a fun, chill, outdoorsy buddy, Buddha is the perfect fit!

Buddha is up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. He occasionally takes an anti-inflammatory for a recurrent soft tissue injury in his front leg.

HISTORY
Buddha was found as a rural stray in rough shape, and a Good Samaritan began nursing him back to good health. He's currently happy, healthy, and active!

PHYSICAL
