Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Back in March, we received a request to help a dog who had been roaming a trailer park after his family left him behind more than two years ago. For the last two years, Buddy lived outside through the hot summer months and cold winter nights. People in the neighborhood would take turns feeding him, but never did anyone welcome him into their family or their home.
When we went to meet Buddy to see how we could help, it was obvious that life outdoors and poor nutrition was taking a toll on his body. Buddy had calloused elbows, patches of missing fur, itchy skin, and painful, infected eyes. He had become fearful of strangers or anyone trying to contain him with a leash. This boy needed help in a really big way.
Without being able to be leashed, Buddy had to be carefully and strategically trapped so we could take him in to safety. After a month's worth of attempts, combined with loads of patience, Buddy was finally contained in the large 4x6 kennel our team had setup. He was finally safe and in our care. He was taken immediately to our vet for the medical treatment he so desperately needed.
Since welcoming him into the rescue, Buddy has amazed all of us with how well he has adapted to his new “rescued” life. We are in awe of how healthy he has become and how great he is finally feeling. His coat is shiny, his eyes look clear, and he loves indoor living with a comfy bed and air conditioning. AND...Buddy now loves going for walks on a leash!
Buddy is kind, gentle, loving and the sweetest old soul. He is now ready to find his perfect forever home --one where he can be treated like the prince that he is! Buddy is easy going and chill. He likes other dogs that match his personality and prefers older children, 12+. His adoption fee includes his completed veterinary exams, vaccines, neuter and microchip. If you're looking for an all-around good ol' boy, apply to meet Buddy today. His sweet spirit will melt you in no time. To apply to adopt: https://lovethemallrescue.org/buddy
