Large (60 – 100 lbs) Learn MoreMeet Buddy! This sweet 5 year-old Shepherd/Lab mix had a very rough start in life, but shows nothing but love towards people and other dogs. Buddy spent most of his five years in a backyard with little interaction with people or other animals; no walks, no hugs, no words of kindness.
Some amazing teamwork got him saved and Rocket Dog agreed to find Buddy his forever family. And, boy, is Buddy ready for a new start in life with plenty of belly rubs and a good comfy bed inside!
Due to his previous life of living outdoors, Buddy is probably not potty-trained but he’s so eager to learn and please people, so it won’t take him long! He will also need to be on a bit of a diet (he’s about 25 pounds overweight); with a proper diet and slow, easy walks he will lose those extra pounds. (He’s not used to walking, so his new person needs to go slow!) In the right home Buddy is going to flourish and be that perfect fit for a family who likes to go on walks and snuggle on the couch! He is best-suited with a home with older kids as he imagines himself a (100 pound!) lap dog. He is not rough with kids but he does want to sit and snuggle with everybody.
Buddy also needs a foster home ’til he finds the perfect forever family/person. Please apply here to foster.
Come meet Buddy and see what a fantastic dog he is! He will remind you that no matter what happens in your life, you can always keep going and be happy. Please apply here to meet Buddy and a volunteer will contact you. (KSL/MC)
