Here's Your Quick Peek:

Buffy is a happy-go-lucky poodley girl. We do not have DNA so I checked the "mixed" box but she looks, moves and acts like a purebred poodle. She was found as a stray but hasn't let her rough start dull her adventurous spirit. Friendly with people, playful with dogs, and always ready for the next adventure, Buffy is looking for an active family that can keep up with her energy and give her a safe place to explore.

Must have: Time. Buffy wants people more than anything else. After a hard day of play and fun, she can always be found lounging on the couch, enjoying her evening. At night, you'll find her curled on the bed. Sleeping anywhere else is NOT in Buffy's play book. She also loves the company of other dogs and plays nonstop with her foster siblings both large and small.

Exercise: Daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to run and explore. Buffy thrives when she has an outlet for her energy and lots of love from her people. Buffy is athletic and can clear fences that stop most dogs (so far she has handily handled 4' and 5' fences). Because of that, we are not requiring a fence but without a fence, you must have a plan in place for Buffy to run and romp off leash at least 3 times per week and lots of other activities when she is on leash. Are you a distance runner or power walker (5 miles or more per day)? Do you have plans for day care for Buffy? Either of those will work. Just remember, this girl needs to move.

Best with: Active families and, outdoor enthusiasts who think dogs should be part of everything. Another playful dog is ideal but not required but do plan for socialization days at least twice per week. Buffy enjoys playmates.

Not ideal for: Apartments, homes with short fencing that want to leave a dog outside unattended, those who work away from home all day or families looking for a couch potato.

Energy level: High.

Buffy is an affectionate, confident poodle (doodle?) who loves people, enjoys other dogs, and approaches life with enthusiasm. She'll make a wonderful companion for a family or a person or couple ready for adventures and committed to keeping her safely contained. Please note, we have not seen Buffy with children. My only concern with kids and Buffy is I am confident if they are rambunctious, she is going to be right in the middle with them.

Good with dogs: Yes. Buffy enjoys other dogs of all sizes and has a playful play style. Please note, Buffy is NOT a follower dog. She will be the leader in a group of dogs.

Good with kids: Unknown, but her caregiver feels she would likely do well with respectful children.

Cats: Unknown and honestly probably not although we can test. She has a good prey drive, typical for the breed.

Fun fact: Buffy is having a ball living on a farm. And rolling in horse poop. Yes she does! This girl does dirty dog farm dog and loves it. Note - Buffy was up for adoption but she scraped her foot doing one of her zoomie tricks. We removed her listing to give her time to heal. It took a while because "Buffy you need to rest and be quiet and heal" were words she never seemed to take seriously. It finally did heal and she is fully 100%.
