Hi I’m Buddy! 🐶
I am currently living with my foster family on an acreage. I get along with a variety of species, as long as they like me too and don’t run away, because then I like to chase them!
I do not like being in a kennel, likely due to past trauma I’ve experienced.
I walk well on leash, love car rides, toys, and know how to sit and shake. Foster mom says I’m sweet, smart, and food motivated.
I love hanging out with humans of all ages, and do well both indoor and outdoors.
I was recently at the vet, where I was examined, neutered and vaccinated.
I am ready to be adopted and I’ll be forever grateful to have a place I can call home!

Sprocket had a busy weekend and it shows! 💤💤

He spent a few days with a temporary foster who also has adoptable Wilson, and they had a blast playing!

Saturday he met Belle Photography and rocked his photo shoot - stay tuned for new Sprocket photos 📸

Today he got a bath and pawdicure and is heading back to his foster!

Sprocket would make an awesome family member, he is so smart, kennel trained, house trained and does well with dogs, cats and kids.
