My story

Hi there! My name is officially Franz, but everyone calls me Buddy—that’s what my previous human called me, and it just feels right. I ended up in foster care because my person got sick and couldn’t take care of me anymore. I miss her, but I’m learning to love my new adventures.I’m a little older and a little slower these days, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve still got some spunk! I love toys, especially when they involve a good game of tug-of-war or a chase around the living room. After a bit of play, I’m all about curling up on the couch for a cozy nap.In my current foster home, I live with an older doggie sister and a human baby brother. I’m respectful of my sister’s space—even when she watches me finish my dinner like a hawk. I’m very tolerant of my baby brother’s antics. My foster mom makes sure we are both safe around each other and I really appreciate that.I’m looking for a forever home where I can be loved, get a little attention between naps, and maybe sneak in a few treats. I’m healthy overall, no medicines needed, though I do have some allergies. If you’re looking for a mellow, sweet companion with a playful streak and a heart full of love, I might just be your Buddy. Apply today so we can meet, you can fall in love, and bring me home!

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