About Budd

Budd has come a long way from being scared and confused when he first arrived at the shelter. Initially, he shut down completely, avoiding the leash and engaging with no one. Fast forward to today, and this once-timid dog is a happy, cuddly, and confident companion. His enthusiastic tail wags and bright face greet everyone coming to his kennel. Budd is still adjusting to the leash, but he walks well to the play yard, where he transforms into a big love-bug, eager for chin scratches. He enjoys playtime with his younger friends and has shown a delightful, sociable demeanor with other dogs. This large fellow would thrive in a loving family that can help him shed some extra pounds and embrace healthier habits. Budd is ready to be the affectionate companion you’ve been looking for. Come meet this sweet, squishy guy and see his joyful spirit for yourself!
