Meet Buddy! 🌟 This wonderful soul was rescued from the streets in late March, having faced the kind of struggles that would break most spirits. With visible injuries from a dog attack and fighting severe dehydration, Buddy was a tough little guy who needed a whole lot of love. Initially, he was wary and skittish—even flinching at the sight of men. It’s evident he has weathered some storms in life, but oh, how he has blossomed with the right care! 🌈 With patience and oodles of affection, Buddy has made remarkable progress. He’s learned to trust again and now confidently interacts with children and adult males alike! Gone are the days of growling protectively at his foster mom—this sweet boy is discovering that the world can indeed be a safe and loving place! 🥰 At about 50 pounds, Buddy is convinced he’s a lap dog! He loves nothing more than curling up beside you and soaking in all the belly rubs he can get—talk about a cuddle machine! 🥳 One of Buddy's absolute favorite pastimes is playing fetch with his favorite chewy ball. Picture this: he excitedly pounces around, ball in mouth, ready to be the star of playtime! 🎾 Whether he's lounging under shady trees, munching on doggy treats, or indulging in a luxurious nap, this boy knows the art of relaxation. But like every hero, Buddy has his fears; thunder and lightning send him into a tizzy. He needs a cozy, safe space indoors to ride out those storms. 🌩️ Buddy has come such a long way from his difficult past and is now searching for that forever home where he can heal, feel secure, and receive endless love. 💖 A small adoption fee of $200 helps cover his vaccinations, heartworm testing, microchip, and neuter, making Buddy the perfect addition to a loving family. 🏠 Please remember: to adopt this incredible dog, applications must be submitted through the Buddy App! 🤗
