09/13/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Cutie Patootie Puppy Buddy wants to play and snuggle and does the best he can with a hurt back leg. He’s tiny, his coat shines, his tail wags and he rocks his bow tie, showing how dapper he will be as a grownup. He’s pretty smashing as a puppy too! Surrendered to our care as his family decided they didn’t have time for a puppy, we’re told he’s relaxed and respectful around everyone, plays gently with all, lived well with another large dog, doesn’t guard his things and is wee wee pad trained. Buddy also went potty as soon as I took him outside, so simply needs a little positive reinforcement training and he’ll get the gist of it all right away. His tail wags as we take a super short walk, he wants to meet everyone we pass, takes treats gently and comes in close to snuggle. He’s an absolute joy who needs some medical attention quickly and then a home in which to love and be loved.
