Meet Buddha

Meet Buddha! This handsome 3-year-old cream/blond Shar-Pei is ready to steal hearts and find his forever home. Buddha is a neutered gentleman with a heart of gold and a laid-back personality that makes him an easy addition to any household. Social Butterfly: Buddha loves people and other dogs alike! He's friendly and welcoming to strangers, making him a great companion for families, singles, or anyone who enjoys an outgoing pup by their side. On the Road: Car rides are no problem for Buddha — he may whimper a little at first, but settles in nicely for the journey. Leash Manners: He's good on a leash and enjoys his walks, though he's still working on not tugging. With some continued practice, he'll be a leash-walking pro in no time! Gentle Soul: Buddha hasn't shown any growling or aggression, and he respectfully keeps off the furniture — he's a polite house guest! Things to Know: Buddha is a bit sensitive to loud noises like ambulance sirens, so a patient, understanding home will help him feel secure. He hasn't discovered a love for toys yet, and he's a bit particular about treats (he preferred his pot roast served on the floor rather than by hand!) — but every dog has their own quirks, and we're excited to see him blossom as he settles into a loving home. Buddha is looking for a patient family who will give him time to come out of his shell, build his confidence, and maybe even discover the joy of a good toy or two. Could that be you? Buddha is fostering in the Tucson, Arizona area and weighs about 48 pounds.
