My personality

My story

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

Buddy is a beautiful, 50 lb black lab mix that was abandoned in a school – you read that right, someone took him inside a school, let him off his leash and walked away, never looking back. Unfortunately, Buddy was not microchipped and the person was never found.

He is estimated to be 2 years old in December of 2024 – he is neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on preventions and has a proheart 6 injection (good for 6 months).

A good Samaritan that took Buddy in contacted us for help as they’ve had him for 9 months but despite them thinking they were doing him good; he has been tied up to a tree during this time. You will notice in some of his video, he is tied up to a tree. Unfortunately, down here in south Texas, some people view that as an acceptable way to keep a dog. We are very grateful they reached out for help for Buddy, as to no fault of his own he was abandoned to begin with.

We have done meet and greets with other doggies with him and he seems to do well with other dogs, big and small! Of course, with any new animal, proper introductions and time play a large part of multiple dogs living happily together.

Buddy has met kitties, and he does fine with them, he is curious of what they are. You can see in the video where a dog-friendly kitty was introduced to him and he was more happy to be off his chain and in a home, and he did not even care about the kitty.

This beautiful boy LOVES his toys and would love a big yard (and another dog would be great too!) to play with and in. He is the happiest boy, and he loves his humans. The current home has children, and he LOVES them as you can see in the video all he wants to do is play with them.

He does need some training to not jump, but this is a behavior that with training, can easily be corrected and stopped. This does go with being bored though – he just wants to get attention and unfortunately, he was getting very little of it.

Buddy has so much love to give and is full of potential. He is full of energy, but who wouldn’t be if they were tied to a tree 24/7? With proper training, exercise and stimulation, Buddy will be the BEST dog. He is loyal and just wants a best friend and home to call his own.

Please consider giving Buddy what he has not had in a very long time – a family to call his own and a home to sleep in.

Additional adoption info

Most of our animals are located in Texas in foster care. 90% of our animals are adopted prior to transport, and adopter must pick up animal from the transport company who brings them up north (all USDA companies). We do have private companies that bring them directly to your home/office also. Sometimes we do have animals located in foster care up north - if this is the case we do put at the very top of the animal's profile where the animal is located in the north.

Once approved, we can put you in contact with the foster family to learn more specifics about the animal you are applying for.

We do try and process applications within 1-2 business days. Please make sure to list all appropriate information such as references contact information, vet contact information, current animal information, landlord information, etc.

More about this rescue

We are an animal rescue dedicated to helping neglected, abandoned, stray and homeless animals find their forever homes.

We found a need in our area due to the little to no options for the animals in rural areas in Texas - where most animals that ended up in our shelters were euthanized for space.
