Buddy is a very friendly boy who adores people. He is very affectionate and at his happiest when getting cuddles.

He gets lonely and upset when I’m left alone so is looking for an owner who can spend most of their time with me.

He is not too keen on cats, but loves other dogs and enjoys getting out for walks to run around.

He has good basic training but needs some help gaining the confidence he needs to be left alone.

Anyone interested in giving Buddy a new home should visit him at the EDCH.

The EDCH is Scotland’s oldest dog and cat sanctuary. It is located in north Edinburgh and has been caring for lost and abandoned animals since 1883.

The shelter tries to find new homes for all the animals that come to the home and as a registered charity relies upon donations to continue their work

Visitors are always welcome to 26 Seafield Road East between 10am and 4pm from Monday to Saturday.
