My story

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

Buddha is ready to be your best buddy! Sweet, gentle, and easygoing, he is looking for a forever home where he can kick back and relax. Although he can be shy in new situations, Buddha gets along great with people and other dogs. He is gaining confidence every day!

Buddha may have arthritis in his front left leg, but it doesn't keep him from enjoying life. Check out the cute video of him playing with a five-month-old pup! He will thrive in home with a fenced yard where he can enjoy the great outdoors.

In fact, being outside is Buddha's favorite pastime. While he enjoys leash walks, his true passions are running around the yard and relaxing in the sun.

In addition to his sun-bathing snoozes, Buddha sleeps through the night without a peep for up to 10 hours. A quick learner, he is also crate-trained and rides well in the car.

If you're looking for a fun, chill, outdoorsy buddy, Buddha is the perfect fit!

HEALTH
Buddha is up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. He is currently taking an anti-inflammatory medication, which is doing wonders for his front leg.

HISTORY
Buddha was found as a rural stray in rough shape, and a Good Samaritan began nursing him back to good health. He's currently happy, healthy and active!

PHYSICAL
Buddha has a tricolor coat with a white-tipped tail. His sweet, white-speckled face gives the appearance of being dusted with snow.

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
