A volunteer writes: Could Buddy be the most perfect buddy ever?! All signs point to yes!! We’re told he has been around children, cats, and other dogs and that’s he’s gentle, relaxed and affectionate with them all! He’s said to be well-behaved when left alone, very much housetrained (he seems it!), remain friendly even if disturbed while snoozing, and that he’s very loving. I can attest to that last one! He is strong, but manageable, and a super star at commands (he knows “sit”, “paw” and “down”). He loooves to play fetch and it’s the perfect outlet for his energy. He is big, cute as can be, and always checks in with lovey-dovey eyes. I was immediately smitten with him and find new reasons to love him each time I take him out. He’s SUCH a good boy…come check him out at Brooklyn ACC!
