Meet Buddy, the happy and healthy mixed breed boy who is looking for his forever family. Buddy came to us when his owners could no longer care for him, and he is around 9 years old. His previous owner tells us that he is good with children and other dogs, and they are unsure how he would be with cats as he has not been exposed to them. Buddy is a very friendly boy who loves attention, toys, and exploring! Buddy is already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. Buddy would make a wonderful addition to any home, if that could be yours, apply today! Visit Buddy at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
