Buddy is an energetic, friendly Black Lab who is a year and three months old.
He weighs 100 pounds. His original owners had acquired him from a breeder when he was just a pup but decided that Buddy was just too active for their household, so they brought him to the shelter several months ago.
He was then adopted by a family with young children. One of the kids developed allergies, so poor Buddy is back at the shelter for a second time!

According to his adoptive family, Buddy is house-trained. He would benefit from some additional training, particularly on loose leash walking. He's young and eager to learn what's expected of him.
Buddy would really like a home where he will get plenty of daily exercise. Labs are wonderful dogs, but they can take a while to grow up emotionally, even after they've reached their adult size.

So, if you're a first-time dog owner, please be prepared to invest some time and patience in Buddy's training.
In return, you can expect a great companion.
