I’m “Buddy”, a six year old Lab mix.  I was originally adopted on “free adoption for seniors” day at the SPCA back in January 2024.

Unfortunately my dad passed in August, and I ended up with my dad’s family. However, it’s just not the home form me. I was put on Prozac from the time I was first adopted, but it’s not doing much for me. I’m getting weaned off it slowly.

I am very much a “one person” dog, as I am super loyal and want to please.

Love getting attention, being petted, brushed, back scratches, and love relaxing and sleeping near you.

I’m sweet, attentive, know basic obedience, and am fully housetrained.

I love going for walks, playing in the snow, fetching, but I can get reactive if I meet dogs on leash.

Now for the anxious side of me:  I can be reactive on leash, I will get into the garbage if left alone, I will bark at people entering the house, but also at movement within the house.

You see, I’m now in a family of five, and it’s too much for me. I was put in a situation before the holidays where stress made me react and snap. Nothing major, but enough to realize I’m not in the right environment.

I’m good with other dogs in general, I Iive with a little fluffy dog now and we’re great.

Ideally I’m looking for a structured and quiet household so I can get over my anxiety and find my forever home.
