HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to her foster!

LOCATION: Foster home

ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org)

ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog: $595

ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 75 lbs is our best guess

ESTIMATED AGE: 7 months in Jan. 2026

KNOWN WITH DOGS: A typical puppy - friendly, outgoing, playful and curious. Loves other dogs so would do well in a home with another one…or can be an only pup if you promise to get her some friends! As Buffy is on the shy side she relishes the guidance of another dog!

KNOWN WITH CATS: Her foster home has two cats. If the cats are calm, she is calm and just sniffs. She will often lay near a calm cat and do nothing at all. She will chase after them *playfully* if they run. She is learning. She has shown ZERO aggression towards them.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: Great. She can be excited and jumpy sometimes – typical puppy behavior but does well with the kids in her foster home.

KNOWN COMMANDS: Is learning lots – foster will gladly share with you all that she is learning!

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She is doing excellent, very quiet in her crate. She knows when its bed time. She'll often just go in there for some quiet - though she also loves stretching out on the couch. She is also doing great in housebreaking, although a dog in any new environment may have accidents as they acclimate.

KNOWN LIKES: KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats, napping, chewing and romping in the sun. Buffy is shy and will need a home with another dog. A house vs. apartment will likely be best for her.

KNOWN DISLIKES: None know so far.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Buffy is an adorable girl who would love to finally find her adoptive home. She can be quite shy so she really needs a home with another dog and a home that is not too chaotic. She is great with kids and dogs and lives well with cats
