Hi, new friend! Buddy here.

I zoom hard, nap harder, and honestly, the best part of my day is when you stop asking me to do stuff so I can curl up somewhere warm and pretend the world doesn't exist.

Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.

Born and (almost) raised right here in Plainfield.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Buddy

About Buddy

Small, spunky, and full of personality, this 1-1/2year-old possible Jack Russell mix male pup is ready to wiggle his way into your heart! Buddy loves toys, zoomies, making new friends, and soaking up attention from everyone he meets. Whether it's a game of fetch or a fun training session, Buddy is excited to be part of the action. Buddy is house trained; crate trained; and knows the sit command. He sleeps through the night quietly in his crate. He's working on not jumping when greeting people and walking on a leash. Buddy has been diagnosed with early arthritis in his front leg from an old injury; however, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Keeping Buddy at a healthy weight (27 lbs.); on a joint supplement; and balancing activity with rest will help him stay comfortable and happy. He may not be training for the Dog Olympics, but he's absolutely going for gold in cuddling, making you laugh, and stealing your spot on the couch. If you're looking for a pint-sized comedian with a huge heart, this little guy is ready to be your favorite sidekick. Buddy is dog/cat friendly. He would do best in a household with older respectful kids, if any and a secure fenced-in yard. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family.

We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
