Meet Buddy – Your New Best Friend for Every Adventure and Every Snuggle!Buddy is a 1.5-year-old, 40-pound sweetheart with the perfect blend of energy and affection. He’s the dog who’ll happily join you on a morning jog, trot alongside you on a hiking trail, and then curl up for a cozy nap when you get home.With his moderate energy level, Buddy is looking for an active owner who will enjoy sharing outdoor time and helping him explore the world. He’s possibly a water-loving pup, so don’t be surprised if he splashes right into a creek or pond on your adventures.Buddy is a true Gentle Giant – calm, loving, and happiest when he’s with his people. He’s wonderfully good with kids over 7, friendly with cats, and social with dogs of all sizes.This smart boy is a great listener, eager to please, and very food-motivated, making him a joy to train. Because he thrives with consistency, experience, and clear leadership, Buddy would do best in a home without first-time dog owners.If you’re ready for a loyal jogging partner, a hiking buddy, and the ultimate cuddle companion rolled into one, Buddy can’t wait to meet you. Come see if Buddy is the perfect match for your active, loving home!Apply to adopt Buddy at: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adopt/new-dog-adoption-applicationIMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.July 11, 2025, 11:43 am
