and click here to see me at my happiest when I am running around outside!
- I am very timid at first and will need some time to learn to trust you. Once I am comfortable with you, I will absolutely love you and want to be your best buddy too.
- Foster mom says I am the best house guest and she's so grateful and proud for how far I have come since I first arrived :)
- I am GREAT with children
- I love being with my foster family and getting pets.
- I am the absolute happiest dog and THRIVE when I am running outside in a fenced in yard! I love playing and running in the yard.
- I really enjoy playing with my toys and can easily entertain myself. I have learned how to embrace my inner puppy. When I get really excited, I get the zoomies and will playfully bark at inanimate objects.
- I am house-trained and haven't had any accidents in my foster home. I even signal when I need to go outside!
- I sleep well through the night on the couch or on my dog bed in my foster mom's room
- I love meeting other dogs.
- I would do well as the only dog in a home or living with another calm dog.
- I am hopeful for a family that has a fenced in yard and will be patient with me as I learn to trust. I am looking for a loving soulmate to provide me with care and understanding.
Aladdin recently had surgery on both front elbows for elbow dysplasia and has recovered well. Aladdin also has bilateral hip dysplasia, but was not recommended for surgery since he does not appear to be in any pain. Since coming into foster care, he has done a great job getting down to a lean body weight and building muscle. If you have a big heart and can offer sweet Aladdin (Buddy) a loving and supportive home, apply today. Aladdin will make a loving and loyal companion :)
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
