Buddy
11 Years
Male
Yorkie

Little Buddy has sadly had a few unsuccessful adoptions.

Buddy lights up our days here at the sanctuary with his play and antics but we are fully aware the little man has his issues.
Buddy’s issues are largely around resource guarding of items or places he see’s as valuable to him.
Buddy can take a while to warm up to new people and is certainly not the the type of little guy that laps up all the pets and attention from anyone and everyone.

A relationship that includes pets and cuddles is possible with Buddy but only when you take time to build that relationship and read his body language effectively.

We would prefer Buddy stay at the sanctuary than have another unsuccessful adoption.

Adopters should meet the below criteria before applying.

Some experience/knowledge of managing resource guarding in dogs.

A force free approach to dogs training.

A quiet home without visiting children.

A willingness to work with our staff and behaviorist to manage and improve Buddy’s behaviour.

Please detail the above in your application.

Buddy has been an only dog for the most part. He does however seem to mix well with some other dogs in the sanctuary.
Although the value of resources may increase with other dogs in his home.
