Buddy AKA Spruce

My story

Hi guys, I'm Buddy AKA Spruce. But most people just call me Buddy. I was originally rescued from Texas. I was adopted out, but I was very timid and fearful back then and my adopter at the time wasn't ready to help me with that. I came back to the Ranch in 2022, and over the years I have opened up massively. (Here's a secret: I started to warm up to humans when I was allowed to lick some wet food off of people's hands!) Though I would thrive best with a patient, understanding home where everyone respects boundaries, my moments of fear are few and far between and I have learned just how much I love the fun things in life, like treats, affection, and swimming pools. I love to run around in my nice big yard and on the hot days I'll dive right in the water. I'll play with other dogs too, but I haven't met the nicest dogs in my life so I prefer dogs who will allow me to be in charge and who will give me my space until I'm ready to play. And play I do! I even do the happy-chatters with my teefies when I get excited! Isn't that cute? I know it took me some time to start opening up to people, but I'm ready to put the past behind me and start my new life with my new family.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Buddy AKA Spruce, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
