Buddy is a 1-year-old pit bull mix. His owners surrendered him to Animal Control because they could not care for him anymore. He was sent to school to become a drug-sniffing dog, but flunked because he just wanted to hang out with the officers!

Buddy is high-energy and needs a lot of exercise and to be kept busy. He is very sweet. He just wants to be your new best friend.

Buddy is available for adoption through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 5 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or Instagram, or call 360-533-1141. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20% discount on adoption fees.
