About Buddy Sponsor me

Buddy is a sweet and affectionate fellow who loves spending time with people and going for walks. He arrived from a local shelter, having been found as a stray. While he has a gentle nature, Buddy can be reactive and fearful at times, so he’s currently on medication to help manage his anxiety. In spite of these challenges, he enjoys the company of dogs and has settled in well with his foster family in the Chicago area. However, he needs a home without young children due to his sensitive personality. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who appreciates affection, Buddy might just be the right match for you. Every little bit counts, and donations toward his medical care would be greatly appreciated. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
