My story

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

Budley is a very handsome male, 2 yr old (DOB:10/27/21) Belgian Shepherd Dog(Malinois) mix. Budley was adopted as a young pup and lived inside a home with a cat for his friend and a teenage boy who adored him. Sadly, he lost his home during a divorce and was 1 hr away from being dumped after multiple attempts to find a shelter for him.
A group effort of rescuers saved Budley and he is a fantastic dog!
Budley sits on command and was already house, crate & leash trained. He has been vetted, microchipped is on heartworm prevention. He had to gain weight before he is neutered but that will happen very soon.
This dog is so playful! He LOVES to play fetch, chasing after a toy but playing keep away when you try to get the toy back.
He loves people and wants to play with other dogs.
Although he is a XL dog, he would be a great family dog but may accidentally knock over small children. would prefer a family with kids 12 and up.

More about this rescue

Wags to Riches Rescue & Rehab is a small but dedicated organization who believe that humans can truly be a voice for the voiceless animals who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. We are not a big organization, we have zero overhead, and our administrative costs are nothing more than an ice-cream cone here and there for the many kids (and adults) who volunteer! That means every dollar goes directly to saving dogs……one dog, one day at a time.
