My personality

My story

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

Buddy is a very gentle dog who loves people and didn't start his first part of his life in the best condition.
Little note from his foster parents:
This is Happy/but we've been calling him Buddy and he responds to that. ?We picked him from the shelter bc he was on the euthanasia list. He was great there and was good with other dogs but he didn't handle the veterinarian very well and was on the rescue list because of that. He had only a short time to live. Poor baby shook and shivered all the way home, he was so scared. He's young, and really wants to please people. He was an outside dog all his life, and seems to enjoy being inside but likes to play in the yard, too. Buddy knows basic commands like, Sit, Stay, Leave it. He does really well with our 8 year old twin grandsons, and is fine with our dogs. Would be better with mid to large dogs. If anyone would love a very pretty, very good boy…let us know. He has lots of love to give.? Who needs a new best friend? He is mostly a mix of Labrador flat coated and shepherd. Shelter thought he was two, but the people who had him before told us that he was only a year old. His adoption fee is $200.

More about this rescue

Common and understandable questions we encounter are “Where do the donations go?” and “Why are the puppies more expensive?”

Our philosophy at Find a Home, Give a Home is “all for one, and one for all”. This is why we list puppies at a higher adoption fee than our shelter babies. Puppies usually have less initial veterinary costs and are typically adopted at a quicker pace than adult dogs. The fees we receive for our puppies OFFSET the cost for all the precious lives we save that haven’t been as fortunate.

While cute little puppies (breeder surrender/confiscation) are often the most desirable and sought after, our true purpose is the humanitarian effort of finding homes for shelter dogs. Rescue dogs from shelters have not received even the basic veterinary care ever or regularly and are often abandoned and found in terrible physical condition, and sometimes are injured and need emergency and specialty veterinary treatment and care. We do everything we can to help these dogs to regain their health both physically and mentally. As these precious babies heal in foster homes, unfortunately, the veterinary costs do add up. Once they are healed, they sometimes have “special needs” which require temporary or permanent medications. All of this can delay finding the right forever home for them.
