My story

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

About a year ago, Buford began showing up at his Good Samaritan's home, at this point still a puppy, and slowly allowed himself to be tamed. He spent time between two properties, making friends with dogs, children, and anyone else. However, the time for him to find his own home has come! He has spent long enough outside, with no family to call his own, and boy is he ready to claim his special someone.

Buford is a big boy with arresting eyes that pierce right through you. His shaggy dark coat and tall stature paint a beautiful picture. We think that he is likely a livestock guardian dog/herding breed mix. He is slow to warm up, but once his faith has been placed in you, it is unshakeable. He is still tends to be a touch nervous, but he has been so tolerant and calm throughout all his vetting, even letting us remove a stick painfully stuck in the roof of his mouth within the first hours of him being here when he was still so frightened.

Buford has a ton of potential as a great family pet. We have been shocked during the past few days as he has let go of his aloof exterior. No longer as shy about making new friends, he quickly moves past initial discomfort to lean against your legs, request pets, roll around on the ground, and the the SILLIEST ever! He appreciates a casual game of fetch just as much as he enjoys a few romps around the yard.

He is enthusiastic about meeting and playing with other dogs. With admirable and enduring optimism, Buford would do best with a tolerant dog, or one who is equally as playful.

Prepare for this handsome guy to steal your heart, first with his good looks and then immediately afterward with his ridiculously charming and buoyant joy and goofiness.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in one of our adoptable pets you can come by the Adoption Center and fill out an application, download one from our website, or submit a request to receive one by email. Once your application has been reviewed and approved we will have you and your potential new pet meet and greet. If you would like to adopt a dog we also ask that you bring along your current dogs to meet with them also!

If there are no reservations on either party, the adoption contract will be signed and you will get to take your new family member home.

Email adopt.ffaa@gmail.com for current adoption fees.

All animals are spayed or neutered before adoption, have age appropriate vaccinations, and are microchipped.
