My story

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

 

 

Buddy is a courtesy post only, and is not a Second Chance Dog Rescue dog.  SCDR is  not  responsible for any ownership, behavior, health, or other representations made by the poster with respect to this dog. You must contact his foster mom Penny directly @ 561-707-1792

Meet Buddy! At only 4 years old, this sweet boy was about to be euthanized at the shelter because he has arthritis in his back legs. This made him terribly uncomfortable laying on the hard kennel floor day after day, and the shelter staff decided he shouldn’t continue suffering and Buddy was scheduled to be euthanized.

A volunteer dog walker who loved Buddy heard about what was going to happen to him and acted fast. She couldn’t let him be put down over a health condition that could be easily managed in a home environment, so she asked the shelter to spare his life and started fostering him.

All Buddy needs to feel comfortable is a soft, cushioned place to rest, and to be given some anti-inflammatory/pain meds mixed in with his breakfast and dinner (he gobbles it all up with no hassle at all). Buddy is so grateful that he was given a second chance at life!

He LOVES all people and other dogs. He would thrive in a home with another dog. He is great at sharing toys with his current foster sister, and has shown no signs of aggression. He is completely potty trained and crate trained! His favorite activities include short walks, napping on his favorite human’s laps, belly rubs, eating treats, and watching Disney movies. He’s an extremely laid-back boy who just wants to be by your side.

He is often complemented on his striking appearance, with his jet-black fur and chesnut eyes. Because of his arthritis, he cannot do any strenuous hiking or long walks. He has trouble with more than a couple of stairs, so he would do best in a home where he can hang out on ground level. He just needs a couple of short walks a day, and he will be set to lounge very happily in the house all day and night. He's an extremely easy-going, cuddly, SWEET dog.

Buddy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and is microchipped.

If you’re looking for the most chill, affectionate pal ever, please call or text Penny (Buddy’s foster mom) at 561-707-1792.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an Adoption Questionnaire to be completed - whether online or in person - before meeting any of our dogs. Upon approval of the Questionnaire, a potential adopter will be required to complete an Adoption Contract and pay adoption fees. All of our adoptions start with the first 2 weeks as a 'trial' period, to ensure the adoption is a good fit. Adoption of a puppy may require a refundable training deposit, which will be refunded upon completion of training with a Certfied dog trainer, and submission of certificate of completion to our office.

Visit our website at www.SecondChanceDogRescue.org for a list of upcoming Adoption Events. Additionally, our foster parents may schedule one on one meetings with potential owners and provide a personalized adoption experience.

More about this rescue

Second Chance Dog Rescue was formed to fulfill a desperate need in the community to Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home homeless dogs from the over-crowded local shelters, and from families who can no longer take care of their dogs (on a case-by-case basis only).

Our program is based on foster care, and all rescued dogs spend their first days at a loving foster home where they receive personalized care. As part of our program, we ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, are spayed or neutered, and have been socialized by their foster family. In addition, Second Chance Dog Rescue provides support for potential new owners and monitors progress for both new pet parents and their adopted dogs. This helps guarantee that our dogs go to good, loving, forever homes.
