Buddy is the cutest black and grey
Peke that you will ever meet. He is only 4 yrs old which, by Peke
standards, makes him a young adult as this is a breed that lives
up to 17 yrs. Buddy and his sister Bella arrived from a shelter in
rural WV and is currently in a foster home in the DC area. His foster
mom is simply in love with them and is working hard to help him gain
some weight. At only 10 lbs he is very thin but had a great appetite,
so with lots of TLC he will reach a healthy weight in no time. When
we rescued Buddy, we had to shave his coat because he was matted
so badly that this was the only option. However, his coat is already
growing back and it will look great once its back. Despite the lack
of a full coat, Buddy still looks great and acording to his foster
mom, he is really enjoying the lack of a coat during the summer heat.

Buddy loves the company of people and his sister Bella. He is definitely
a lap doggie and doesn’t lose any opportunity to ask for belly
rubs. He loves to look straight into your eyes and to gently reach
upwards for kisses. He is crate trained and although he didn’t
have any accidents in his foster mom’s home, he will go through
an adjustment period when he will move to his permanent home when
accidents are possible. But, as an adult dog, he should learn the
rules of the house very fast and all he needs is a little guidance
in the beginning. He is good with the other dogs in his foster home,
but can be at times food possessive and when introduced to any new
dogs.Training would be very helpful as this is not a terribly difficult
behavior to change. Even more, going to obedience school is a wonderful
way to bond with your new dog. Attitude towards cats is unknown as
there aren't any in his foster home. Buddy and Bella have bonded
with eachother and they would love to stay together but they can
also be adopted separately. Please consider giving Buddy the home
he so much deserves! Thank you! :-)
