About Buddy

Buddy is a resilient soul who has spent nearly two years at a car wash, watching people and cars come and go. This sweet male dog has remained loyal, despite the loneliness he faces each night when everyone leaves, leaving him to roam the streets alone. At around 7 and a half years old, Buddy is a mixed breed of Labrador Retriever and Rhodesian Ridgeback. He’s dog-friendly and genuinely enjoys making new friends. This gentle and loyal companion simply craves a person to love. Having survived on his own far too long, he deserves a safe home, complete with a secured 6-foot fence to keep him safe. Buddy has been fully vetted, is house trained, and has all his vaccinations up to date. It's time for him to find the love and stability he’s waiting for. Will you help us make that happen?
