Meet the incredible Buddy! 🐶 This remarkable fellow had a summer that most could only dream of—but not in a good way! After a surprising encounter with a porcupine that left him with a face and chest full of quills, he found himself at the local pet emergency clinic with fate hanging in the balance. Can you believe someone even thought to end this sweet boy's life? 😱 Thankfully, the dedicated team at the clinic recognized the heart of gold in Buddy and treated him instead, leading to an amazing turn of events that led him to the loving care of S.P.O.T. ✨ Throughout his time with us, Buddy has proven to be a gentle giant full of love and warmth. Picture him happily greeting everyone at the clinic with a wagging tail and a big, goofy smile! 🌟 After several procedures to help him heal, he spent the summer in our care where he displayed a heartwarming spirit and became friends with everyone he met. His foster home has fallen in love with him too; he fits in seamlessly with both large and small dogs and plays nicely—albeit a bit too enthusiastically with the cats. But worry not, he’s got a solid recall and does listen when called! 🐾 Buddy dreams of a chill home where he can lounge on a cozy dog bed, enjoy gentle games with younger family members, and share delightful moments with another low-key dog. He’s the perfect snuggle buddy, ready to bring joy and laughter to your life! What a truly special boy he is! ❤️ Now let’s talk about the details: Buddy is a 'Heinz 57' mix, a neutered male, treated for internal parasites and fleas, and he’s vaccinated. He comes with a microchip to keep him safe, and he’s ready to find his forever home! 🏡 At 5 years old and weighing in at a sweet 55-60 lbs, Buddy’s adoption fee is $350.00 (payable by cash or credit card).
