Buddy is a very sweet, very happy 1-1/2 to 2 year old retriever lab mix who is currently in foster and surprising his foster mom with his trainability. He just wants to please and is a very smart boy. 
Buddy was found as a stray and spent some time with a volunteer while attempts were made to locate owner. Sadly, no owner came forward and he was welcomed in to the Friends of Macon County Missouri Animals family officially. He has been with his foster for only a few days and his progress is remarkable. 
Buddy is playful, gets along with other dogs and kids. He is friendly and has the energy one would expect from a young fella. Buddy does not exhibit any food aggression or resource guarding. He is housebroken, has mastered the doggie door, and respects the boundaries of other dogs.  He is bright, very trainable, and has already mastered "come" and "sit" in a few short days. He is eagerly working on other skills such as leash walking and walking. He likea car rides and loves to romp and play chase with his foster sister. 
Buddy's perfect home would have a large fenced area with another energetic dog to play with and a young child or two to "grow up" with. He would be so loyal and the perfect lifetime companion or a young boy!!!!Buddy is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on all vaccines including bordatella (kennel cough), microchipped, heart worm negative and on monthly prevention, and on monthly prevention for fleas and ticks. 
And his is ADORABLE!!!!
