About Buddy

Buddy is a remarkable dog looking for a forever home after spending nearly two years at a car wash in DFW. This loyal boy has greeted countless cars and made many friends, but his nights are spent roaming the streets alone, longing for human companionship. Although he once had someone who cared for him, that person is gone, and Buddy waits patiently for a new family to embrace him. At 7 years and 6 months old, Buddy has a gentle disposition and is known for his friendliness. He gets along well with other dogs, eager to make new friends. Buddy is already fully vetted, housetrained, and ready to shower someone with his affection. He needs a safe home, ideally with a 6-foot fence to ensure he never has to wander the streets again. Help Buddy find the loving home he truly deserves. Every dog deserves a family. Ready to help Buddy start his new chapter? Apply now!
