My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Buddy is a four year old, 70lbs pit mix. We just passed his two year
anniversary with us. He was originally found as a stray, and his finder said
he would have loved to have kept Buddy ... but he and the existing dog
didn't get along. So, he brought Buddy into the shelter. When we had
posted Buddy on social media, Buddy's original owner came forward. They
shared a video of Buddy playing with a young child- blowing bubbles and
popping them ... but sadly his original owner never came for him.
Buddy IS an intensely powerful, and dominant dog. He has never shown any aggression towards people- however he can be disrespectful in the sense of invading your space, jumping on you,refusing verbal correction. But if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
So, his new owner needs to be confident and able to enforce boundaries.

More about this shelter

Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill shelter.

Since its infancy, compassionate, like-minded volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood Animal Shelter. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build its first, albeit small facility and was established as a 501(c) 3 in 1976. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.

The shelter is funded entirely from donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Animal Shelter Thrift Store.

After years of saving, planning and busting at the seams with fur-babies, in 2005 it was time to build a new facility with their own in-house clinic! Under the direction of Dr. John Reinhold and coupled with a very dedicated and gifted team of Veterinarians and staff, Dogwood Animal Shelter continues to offer low cost spays and neuters to the public as well as services to their shelter buddies; services to approximately 2,000 dogs and cats yearly!

Dogwood Animal Shelter began their journey of being a successful no-kill shelter in 1997, and since then has saved over 40,000 lives!
