Meet Hardy, the resilient little warrior with a heart full of hope! 💙 This sweet 16-pound bundle of joy found himself in a tragic situation, having been thrown from a car and attacked by other dogs. It’s hard to imagine how someone could have mistreated him. But the silver lining? Hardy has spent over two years healing his mind and body, and he’s ready to find a loving forever home! Hardy is the kind of companion who makes everything feel a little brighter. He gets along beautifully with all his foster friends 🐾 and loves nothing more than cozying up on the sofa with fluffy blankets. Who wouldn’t want a cuddle buddy like him? 🥰 Long car rides? Count him in! Just be prepared for some serious snuggle sessions. While Hardy is a lover, he’s still a bit timid on the leash and would thrive in a home with a securely fenced backyard (no doggie doors or inground pools). Imagine him frolicking safely in a yard, feeling the sun on his fur! 🌞 He would do best in a quieter home without small children, with someone who understands that earning the love of a rescue dog takes patience and kindness. This angel deserves to feel truly cherished. If you're interested in adopting Hardy, he requires a good vet reference and heartworm prevention, because his health matters! Once you apply through the Buddy App, the magic begins! 🎉 After your application is processed, a home visit and meet-and-greet with Hardy will be scheduled. If any fencing needs fixing, be sure to take care of that before the visit so that Hardy can enjoy his new safe space right away. Adoption can typically be finalized just a day after the meet-and-greet! Please note, out-of-area adopters must drive or fly in to meet Hardy and bring him home. This loving animal is waiting for your heart to open up—apply to adopt Hardy through the Buddy App today! 🌈
