Buddy - CPAA

Buddy

Buddy is a 3-4 year old pitbull mix and recently joined the HOPE Dogs Program on Friday, August 30, 2024!   


Buddy is bundle of energy and he should be because when he was found as a stray here in PA, he tested positive for heartworms!  Treatment requires that Buddy be very calm, and he sure did bundle up that energy for after he received the all clear from his vet!  He came to HOPE to learn some basic manners and how to funnel some of that energy into more appropriate outlets.  We look forward to learning more about Buddy and helping him be the besst doggie he can be!


Buddy is sponsored by the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance and his adoption fee is $300.

Buddy is a great dog, he loves to play, and everything is a game to him, which also means that training has to be a game too! He’s such a quick learner, and he catches on really easily, especially if I make it fun. And training should ALWAYS be fun, not just for Buddy, but for all dogs.


Sometimes I think Buddy thinks he’s a kid because he’s always trying to be on my lap or under my feet. When I need to lay down, even if Buddy is laying in his crate, as soon as I lay down, Buddy will come out of his crate and run to my bunk. He’ll sit right in front of it and looking from my bunk and then to me just waiting, hoping that I’ll give him the okay to jump up on the bed. Once I give him the okay, he will come up looking for his place to lay as soon as he finds that perfect spot, he will lay there and then get up just to lay all over me as soon as I get comfortable. And then, as usual, he will fall asleep in my arms.

Buddy is a great dog and I love how playful he is! Every time we do training, he thinks it’s a game! Everything is a game, all day, every day! He will definitely keep you smiling all day long. Since he got his Level 1 the other week, I’ve realized that he is a quick learner. Once he learns a new skill, he’s got it and he’s over it and wants to go back to playing. 

 

Even though he’s got energy for DAYS, he also knows how and when to tone it down and just chill. As much as he likes to play, I think he likes to cuddle just as much! He also lays on you like he’s a human. Its just cute to see how he lays over me in order to fall asleep. 

 

When Buddy meets new people, he acts like he’s known them his whole life! He greets them like you would and old friend, “Hey! I remember you! Where ya been pal?” and will shower them with affection. He’s just the best buddy a person could ask for!

Good morning everybody, I just need to let you all know that Buddy is a GREAT dog! He’s loving, playful and is a great cuddler too! Buddy gets along with the other dogs here in the program too. He will play with them all day along the fence if you let him. His favorite game is tug and when we play tug he tries to win by taking it away and then bringing it back again before I even have a hold of it!


Buddy REALLY enjoys going for walks too, getting pets from other people, and just going on adventures. Buddy will be anyone’s buddy and he will fall in love with everyone too! He brings love, joy and affection wherever he goes and he for sure will bring the kid out of you too!

We also wanted to let you know that Buddy completed his Level 1 Basic Obedience last week too! So not only is he playful, but he’s a smart boy too!

On Buddy's first day in the Program, he and I just connected.  I call him my little cuddle buddy, since he loves to curl up next to me or just lay all over me.  Buddy is a little playful thing and he just LOVES meeting people and he especially goes crazy for the ladies!  As soon as he seen one, he will be all over them like, "Where have you been??? I've been MISSING YOU ALL DAY!"  My little Buddy is the talk of the town and everyone just loves him!


Buddy just has this way about him that if you're feeling down, he just makes you happy.  Buddy would do well in a home, and he is very playful but can be laid back when he needs to be.  He will bring joy to anyone's life!

Jaida (formerly Potter) joined the HOPE Program on Friday 2/24/2023. She is approximately 7 years old and is sponsored by the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance, CPAA. Jaida is joining the Program after she and her family worked REALLY hard to help her adjust to a new baby in the house. Unfortunately, she prefers the companionship of older kids (10 years and over) to that of an infant or toddler. Jaida has a HIGH PREY DRIVE and will give chase to small critters, so she shouldn’t live with cats, birds, guinea pigs, etc. The smaller and squeakier, the more interested Jaida gets! She and her family put in a lot of time and work, so she’s already a very well behaved girl. She loves going for walks and hikes, but prefers not to be bombarded by off leash dogs. After all, she’s a well mannered gal and expects her friends to be the same! Jaida is also muzzle trained for trips to the vet and groomers too! If you're interested in adopting Jaida, please review her future home requirements, and if you think your home would suit her needs, click that "Apply to Adopt Jaida" button below! -Jaida NEEDS to be an ONLY PET , as she has a HIGH PREY DRIVE and does like dogs in her face -Jaida will NOT be adopted into a home with kids under the age of 10 -Jaida loves going for walks, so while a fenced yard is great, she'd like a family to take her on hikes and adventures -Jaida would also prefer a calm and quiet home , not one with a lot of guests or busy activities. Jaida is sponsored by the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance and her adoption fee is $300.

Meet Hazel! Hazel is approximately 2 year old, and is thought to be a German Shepherd mix girl. Her coat is a gorgeous caramel brindle and so very soft. Miss Hazel joined HOPE on 11/04/2022 and we are looking forward to learning more about her as she progresses with her training. Hazel spent about a year with Canine Rescue of Central PA. She did not spark a lot of interest from potential adopters, but the volunteers at the rescue just love her! She is an active girl who loves going for walks, playing with toys, especially her purple egg, which as you can see she likes taking everywhere, and pretty much any activity that involves being outside! If you’re an active family looking for a furry family member, Hazel might be your girl! If you're interested in adopting Hazel, please review her future home requirements, and if you think your home would suit her needs, click that "Apply to Adopt Hazel" button below! -Hazel NEEDS to be an only pet, and therefore will NOT be adopted into a home with another dog, cat, or other small animals. -Hazel is a HIGH ENERGY dog, and plays VERY HARD. This is something we’ve worked on during her time in HOPE, and while her possessive behavior with toys has improved, we would not be comfortable adopting Hazel into a home with young kids. -Hazel would love if her family got her enrolled in some sort of dog sport, like agility. She needs an active family that will provide her with daily exercise, beyond a walk around the block. This girl would LOVE hiking and climbing rough terrain with you! Hazel is sponsored by Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance, CPAA, and her adoption fee is $300.
