ARLINGTON, VA — Meet Buddy, whose favorite things are his chew toys, puzzle feeders, stinky cheese, snuggles, taking apart plushy toys, and scratches on the top of his head. Buddy, a large mixed-breed dog, is a fast learner. He knows several cues like sit, paw, down and wait. He is working on off and leave it. Buddy is house-trained and does very well when his foster mom is not home. He does not cry or bark when left alone and quickly lays down for a nap. Buddy likes his crate and uses it as his safe space. A perfect day for Buddy would include a slow walk with plenty of time for sniffing everything, followed by a romp at the dog park, birdwatching out the window, and then curling up with his person for a long nap, preferably with his head on your chest. (Animal Welfare League of Arlington) Buddy is so thrilled when his foster mom comes home that he greets her with a tail that wags so hard that he hits himself in the face. And he enjoys laying in her lap to settle in for naps. If Buddy sounds like the type of dog you'd like to bring home, contact AWLA to learn more to set up a time to meet him.
