ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hey there! I’m Bud! I’m an almost-3-year-old bundle of happiness who loves to play hard, snuggle harder, and always be near my favorite people. I might “forget” to return the fetch ball sometimes, but I’ll never forget to make you smile.

I’ve got lots of playful energy and do best in a home where I can run, play, and enjoy active companionship. I came back to FOHA because my bouncy enthusiasm wasn’t a match for the other dog in the home — no hard feelings, I just need the right playmate or be your one-and-only pup!


BEHAVIOR SNAPSHOT:

  • 🐶 Dog-Friendly – Great with dogs who match my energy.

  • 🧼 Housetrained – I know where to go and thrive with routine.

  • 🧒 Kid-Friendly – I’d love an active family with kids to play with!

  • 🐱 Cats – Unknown – FOHA can test me if needed.

  • 🩺 Puppy Papilloma – I currently have a non-serious, contagious condition that requires temporary isolation from other dogs. (See precautions below.)


VOLUNTEER NOTES:

“He was easy to walk, only mild pulling. He did spook when a loud truck passed, but otherwise did great. When he saw a familiar volunteer, he lit up and got adorably mouthy and playful — a big puppy at heart.”


LIKES & DISLIKES:
✔️ Fetch • Cuddles • Running • Car Rides • People • Friendly dogs
✖️ Loud trucks • Dogs who don’t want to play


SPECIAL NOTES – PAPILLOMA CARE:
Bud has a temporary condition common in young dogs.
Until resolved (1–2 months), follow these precautions:

  • No contact with other dogs

  • Disinfect shared items (toys, bowls, bedding)

  • No public dog areas

  • Wash hands after handling


READY FOR A FOREVER BUDDY?
Bud is affectionate, trainable, and full of goofy charm. Whether you’re jogging through the park or curled up watching TV, he’ll be your constant companion and best pal.
