My personality

My story

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

Buddy is a good boy! He is a mutt through and through, with a DNA test showing he is a mix of several different breeds. He's just under 50 lbs.
Buddy was born to our rescue on 07/04/2020 and adopted out as a puppy. He was recently returned and it broke his heart. Buddy was adopted out to a home with other dogs and after a few years started not getting along with them so well. His dad's schedule changed and he was not home so much anymore, and Buddy just lost his way in the pack. When we were contacted about him being returned, in an effort to keep him in the only home he'd known for years, we sent a trainer to work with his family. Our trainer immediately knew Buddy wasn't dog aggressive, he simply lacked confidence and didn't know his place in the pack. We hoped the family would continue with training, but he was returned to us. It took him about 2 weeks to start coming out of his funk, he was shut down and depressed initially.
Buddy is not even close to being a difficult dog. He would absolutely benefit from taking a class to boost his confidence (which we will pay for with an approved adoption). People don't realize how much dogs need leadership and structure! That's all this sweet boy needs.
He's housebroken, knows basic commands, he's not destructive and he's fine being left alone, he enjoys playing with toys, overall he's pretty unassuming and what we would consider a low maintenance dog! He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, etc. His adoption fee is $250.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoptions start with an application and approval process. Most of our adult dogs have an adoption fee of $250, regardless of how much medical attention they have received (some of them cost us substantially more than that, all of our rescues are thoroughly vetted and treated for any illness before being adopted out). You must be 21 adopt from us.

We prefer a fenced in yard but it's not required. All people in the household must be present for adoption and we request that you at least spend 45 minutes with the pet of your choice before making the commitment to take them home

EVERY adoption includes spay or neuter. Check around; not everyone includes the price of surgery, even if it's required. Our donation for dogs also includes: first shots, heartworm test if over 6 months, and rabies shot (at time of surgery if too young). Most are also microchipped. Cats come with surgery cost included, first shots, FIV test, and nail trim. We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed!

More about this rescue

We are a foster style rescue. Our pets live with us, so we know more about them than the average shelter. We have a variety of homes that include other dogs, cats, kids, etc.

Spaying and neutering is the absolute best way to curb pet overpopulation. We believe in low cost spay and neuter and can provide info on low cost surgeries.

We also believe pet nutrition and vaccine awareness can keep your best friend healthy for life. Our fosters are fed high quality food. We encourage people to explore the nutritional value of pet food and make the best decision for their pets.
