Buddy is a young shepherd mix good with dogs and kids, ready for his own home

At just 10 months old, Buddy is still very much a puppy with a lifetime of adventures ahead of him. This handsome German shepherd mix has the sweetest face, the perked-up ears and a look that says he's ready to find his person. Buddy is housebroken, good with kids and dogs, neutered and ready for adoption. Like many young dogs, Buddy is still learning and growing.

He'll thrive with a family who can give him love, guidance and plenty of opportunities to play and explore. If you've been looking for a loyal companion to grow up alongside your family, Buddy might be the perfect match.
