Meet Buddy, the incredible dog whose heart has seen some ups and downs 🍂. Dumped as a puppy at a police department, this resilient spirit thought he’d found his forever home when he was adopted, only to be returned to a kill shelter. Can you imagine the heartbreak? 💔 Luckily, Buddy found his way to a loving rescue, but the struggles continued. Despite all efforts, Buddy developed a little something called confinement phobia, and now he’s searching for a special person who can give him the stability he craves. Buddy is a big-hearted fellow who needs a home with a high fence and a big backyard to run and play in 🏃‍♂️. He thrives in an environment where someone is home a lot—because when he senses someone leaving, it can send him into a tailspin of frantic energy initially. Imagine him standing by the house, just waiting for his favorite humans to return! Although Buddy has learned to navigate the doggy door and is familiar with crate training, he still needs a bit of work on his house-training journey 🚽. One more thing to note: Buddy does *not* like cats! 😾 But with all of his love to give, he would be an absolute joy to have as a companion, especially for someone patient and understanding. This brave boy just wants a chance to bloom in a loving environment where his fears can be soothed. Will you be the one to help Buddy turn the page in his story of resilience? Please *apply through the Buddy App* to meet this sweet soul and show him the love he deserves!
