About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a loyal and brave dog who has spent nearly two years living at a car wash in DFW. This sweet boy has watched countless cars come and go, greeting everyone with his friendly demeanor. Yet, when the last shift ends, he’s left alone, wandering the streets at night with no one waiting for him. Buddy deserves better than a life of solitude. He is gentle and dog-friendly, always eager to make new friends. While he's survived on his own, he now seeks a forever home with a secure 6-foot fence, so he never has to roam alone again. He’s completely vetted, housetrained, and just looking for a person to share his loyalty and love with. Let’s give Buddy the loving home he’s been waiting for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
