Hi, I'm Buddy.  Unfortunately, I ended up at the shelter because my person took a job that requires him to travel for extended periods of time and so he was unable to keep me.  I'm a little timid when I first meet someone but then I warm up.  There are some men that I don't particularily care far, so I might be best suited as a woman's pet.  I would make a wonderful guard dog as I can be quite intimidating due to my size and strong appearance.   I enjoy playing with balls, also tug-of-war and going for walks.  I really want to find a forever home where I will be loved and included as a member of the family.  Won't you please come get me and take me home.
