Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) - Buddy - Medium - Young
Buddy : A 4 year-old neutered male ,weighing 19kg / 41.8 lb The first time I saw Buddy, he was hiding under a car. I assumed that he had a home as I only saw him outside sometimes. But I started to see him all the time on the street and realized that he must be a stray. Because of the color of his fur, I thought that Buddy was a senior dog. He looked elderly to me, and so, so tired. I fed him every time I saw him and felt so bad for him as the weather got colder and colder. It was so sad to see him out there fending for himself, all alone. It was so bad for his health and spirit that I decided to save him from such a poor existence. Buddy didnt want to get in my car at first, but surprisingly, he didnt resist at all, he just let me hold him gently and put him in my car. He seemed so relieved in a way. I couldnt imagine how a sweetheart like Buddy was going to survive cruel world of unfortunate strays, so I was so happy to help him. The vet thinks Buddy was actually only about 4 years old. As I had thought he was old, I had planned to let him live out his twilight years with me and hadnt planned on finding him a home. As I know he is young, I have to find him the great home he deserves to live out his life. His foster dad told me that when Buddy first arrived at his house, he slept a lot and was very quiet. After a few days, his foster dad was surprised to find out that Buddy knows basic commands such as sit, shake hand and knows how to catch as well. Buddy, he also told me, just loves cuddles and is so sweet-natured. He also loves treats. He gets so happy when he sees treats! Buddy is okay around strangers. Before Buddy was neutered, he didnt really like one of the unneutered dogs in the house, and they would have to be in separate rooms as Buddy was cautious. He wanted to sniff the dog when he ran into him, but wasnt aggressive. So it was just a protective move at nighttimes. Buddy protects his food, but not over-zealously, as is common with most ex-street dogs. He only goes to potty when out for a walk or on the patio where he is, which is allowed, Buddy is a mellow boy, but can get agitated if another dog bothers him when he wants to be alone for quiet time. Overall, he is such a sweetheart that responds to tender loving care so well, and will give back as much love as is given to him. I feel sad that he cant be with me, but know that there is a wonderful new family out there somewhere for this dear dog. Please go to www.ahan.org, on Buddy.
