My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

In November 2020, Real Time Rescue was contacted by Banning Veterinary Hospital in the Hi-Desert area. They explained that an elderly woman had called asking about euthanizing her two dogs, who were under three years old and healthy. She let them know that the reason for her call was she could no longer care for them and didn’t know what to do. Instead of scheduling an appointment, they gave them our number. Their daughter reached out to explain that she had just moved back to help her parents- her father had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s 6mos earlier and recently her mother with fibromyalgia. All three were surviving on very limited funds and the dogs, Bella & Buddy, spent their lives outside. She further explained that when her mother called a local shelter and asked what would happen to them if they turned them in, she was told if not adopted quickly they would be euthanized due to an already over crowded shelter. Her next call was Banning Vet, feeling that euthanizing them there would be the better option over a shelter taking care of it. This is a woman who did really want what was best for her dogs but didn’t have any idea how to help them with the resources provided to her. RTR let the family know we could help, but we’d have to find fosters first… and thanks to the rescue gods, we did!

Buddy is around 2 years old. Both he and his sister Bella went directly to one of our trusted vets in Orange County and were given a clean bill of health and vaccinated. Buddy is a sweet, playful boy and just generally always pretty happy. He has a goofy puppy way about him and LOVES belly rubs!

Buddy is currently working with Alpha Dogs K9 Training to learn leash skills and manners. His new home will need to maintain his training when he goes home so he can be successful! Apply to adopt this spunky boy at www.realtimerescue.org.
