• “Buddy is a great dog. Unfortunately had a rough life before he came to us (literally just showed up on our porch), but he is a sweet and loyal dog, and protective of his family. He can be reactive to other dogs. Once you're in, though, he's your friend for life! he can be a goofball, loves to zoooom. He's also a natural protector and guardian. Anytime he's been around children of any age he will follow them around and sit by them while scanning the room. He is very gentle but he can also get rowdy when we're playing. He loves his morning cuddles, though. Has to have it every morning.“

  — Christian W.

• “My name is Bud "The Person," and I tricked my mommy and daddy into thinking I was a pure border collie! Jokes on them, I'm mostly Great Pyrenees with maybe 10% Collie - Ha! I believe, genuinely, that I am merely 3lbs and belong in your space at all times. That guy at the vet tells me, very rudely I might add, that I am over 100lbs. He lies. There is no time but the present TO PLAY. No, seriously, we play 24/7 here. No excuses. I have a good sized yard that I rule, when the resident felines state that it's allowed, anyway. I enjoy fellow pup company, so long as they're smaller than me. Otherwise, I feel a bit threatened and feel the need to protect my mom and my bestest friend, who is only 3.“

  — Jessica J.

• “Bud is a senior dog adopted from the humane society, he is a sweet, quiet dog who loves to cuddle and be close to his human.“

  — Amy L.

• “Bud is very loving and very sweet with adult people, but very uncomfortable around most other dogs and young people/children. He’s a funny little guy with lots of quirks and lots of opinions.“

  — Alex K.

• “I'm a sweet old guy who loves to stroll and sniff. I love meeting others.“

  — Shaugna O.

• “I love being outside running and chasing anything that moves. If it was up to me, I would be outside all day until it was time to eat.“

  — Jamee M.

• “I am a fearless, friendly, happy going guy. I love to say hi to people and other dogs. I’m very sweet and love to adventure.“
