Does your dog need a dog!?!? If so, Buddy could be the solution! He had a very rough beginning to life and is extremely shy but LOVES other dogs and needs a canine BFF. In a nutshelll, he was on a proprty with at least a dozen of his friends who were all shot and killed. He was hit in the leg and has fragments still in his leg but it doesn't slow him down but he will limp sometimes. It is not operable so he will be like that forever and will probably have some arthritis as he ages. He is about 4 years old now. If you're looking for a snuggly guy to curl up next to you on the couch, Buddy is not your boy. You won't be petting him or snuggling but he will sleep on the bed with you, stick close, and be your dog's best buddy ever! And as he slowly trusts you more and more he will get closer. He will take treats from your hand, let you boop him on the nose, and every time he gets closer your heart will warm a bit more! He is house trained, crate trained, doggie door trained and really low maintenance and amazing! He just needs his dog friend to play with, snuggle with, run with, etc. He MUST have a very secure fenced in yard since he is a flight risk and no human will be able to catch him easily if he were to escape. He is NOT available for transpoert so any adopter needs to be local to the Huntsville, AL area OR willing to drive here to meet and adopt him. Buddy is neutered, UTD on vaccines, HW negative, on monthly prevention and microchipped. If you are interested in learning more about this amazing pup, please submit an application at forrescue.net
