My story

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

Dumbo's got nothing on me! My name is Budgie, and I have ears for days. People keep saying I'll grow into them, but my foster family says they're growing with me, so I'm not so sure! I'm a survivor -- I had distemper and have a bit of a twitch as a result. Distemper is hard to beat, so I'm a bit of a miracle pup. I didn't let that experience get me down, though -- I love hard, play hard, and have personality for days.

I'm just about potty trained, and I sleep through the night! I am learning to walk on a leash. I play so hard during the day with humans and other pups that I literally play myself to sleep. I've been to adoption events, and while I'm overwhelmed at first, I love to meet new friends, dogs, and humans alike! I've never met a cat, but with a careful introduction, I'd want to be their friend! I do fine with kids that I meet! While I play hard, I love to snuggle with my humans when I'm tired. Don't let my tough guy look fool you; I'm a lover boy at heart. I sure hope you're my forever home -- I'm a scrappy survivor with a unique look who deserves a happy ending!

This animal is in a foster home. If you would like to meet this animal, go to www.souldog.org to fill out an adoption application. When submitting your adoption application make sure to submit a good clear picture of your living room, kitchen, and yard. If you rent, you must provide proof animals are allowed. We will contact references. Once the application is reviewed our adoptions coordinator will send your information to the foster to set up a meet and greet.

We ask that all members of the household come for a meet and greet to ensure there are no personality clashes. If you have other dogs in the home and are meeting a dog you must bring them for the meet and greet. Filling out an adoption application does not mean you will be adopting the animal. Doing a meet and greet with one of our animals does not guarantee you are adopting the animal. We will select the family we feel is the best choice for that animal after screening and meeting applicants.

More about this rescue

Soul Dog is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization founded with the mission to spay/neuter and protect animals. We are currently a small group of committed volunteers making a difference in the life of one animal at a time. As an all volunteer administration, all donations made to Soul Dog go directly to improving the health of the pets that share our lives.

Soul Dog is proactive in animal welfare advancing the need for spaying and neutering our pets to reduce overpopulation. We travel to rural communities on Native American reservations, where spaying and neutering will only happen if it is nearly free or very convenient. Soul Dog works with volunteer veterinarians to provide the spaying and neutering service at no cost to the public. Donations are used to defray the costs associated with medications, supplies, and the operating cost for clinics.
