Buddy has been on the kill list at the local shelters three times in the past month... Buddy is the kind of dog you need to see in person to appreciate his personality and demeanor, but because he has the 'brown dog syndrome' so common in the shelters (i.e. "Just another one of those non-descript brown dogs..."), he kept being passed by with potential adopters...
Buddy just reminds me of a 'good ole boy' not in the derogatory sense that this title might have, but just in the easy doing, mellow and happy-go-lucky-sense... Nothing fazes him... He is VERY content to sit on my husband's lap every night to watch TV with his eyes closed (the dog, not my husband) and now sits patiently in the afternoon for my husband's arrival...
But if you look closely at Buddy beyond the fact "he's a brown Chihuahua," you will see some beautiful markings along with a pair of eyes that appear almost human because of their shape and spacing...
While Buddy was probably a bit overweight when he arrived at the shelter at almost ten pounds, he now weighs 7.13 pounds and looks great~!! He's not barky, friendly towards all, even balanced temperament-wise and would make a great family dog or companion for someone who lives alone and is looking for that tight one-on-one bond.
What a great dog and smart too! He learned the doggie door in two tries and is house-broken and now crate-trained as well... Besides the vast difference in size and coloring, Buddy is one of the "Lassie-type" dogs that comes along every once in awhile and you just know there was some twisted quirk of fate or bad luck that caused him to up in the shelter system...
