About Buddy

Meet Buddy! This sweet senior is searching for a loving home after his owner passed away. Don’t let his age fool you; he still has a playful spark and a bit of spunk. However, he can be sensitive to handling and needs time to warm up to new people, making an adult-only home ideal for him. Buddy is open to meeting other dogs if introduced properly, and while he hasn't lived with cats, he might consider it. His adoption fee has been waived thanks to the generosity of Freshpet, allowing the right family to bring him home without the cost. Take the time to visit and see if Buddy is the right fit for you! Stop by our shelter any day from 12-6 PM. Remember to bring a photo ID, proof of address, and vaccination history for any resident dogs in your home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
