About Buddy

Meet Buddy, an adorable puppy boy who’s nearly 3 months old and weighs about 15 lbs. He and his siblings were abandoned in a ditch in Houston, Texas, and thankfully rescued from a high-kill shelter by Kind Spirits. Now in a loving foster home, Buddy is ready for his forever family. Buddy has a sweet disposition—he’s attentive, affectionate, and loves to cuddle. He enjoys food, playtime, toys, and, of course, his naps! He’s currently making great strides in potty, leash, and crate training, but he still needs more practice. Buddy is great with children, cats, and other dogs. You can adopt him under a Foster to Adopt agreement until he’s neutered at 6 to 8 months old. The adoption fee is $250, along with a $100 deposit for his neuter once he’s old enough. Out-of-state adopters are welcome, and transportation can be arranged to your area for an additional fee. Click apply to start the adoption process.
