My story

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


Buddy is a shelter rescue grew up on 3 acre ranch. He was an outside dog, a ‘porch’ dog. Buddy was my Mothers’s partner’s dog. The ranch kept horses and goats and when my mother lived there sheep. My mother passed away on 12/20/2020. Her partner passed away about 90 days later. I found nothing remotely acceptable in Arizona and by acceptable I mean, someone to care for a senior, had not a high demand anywhere. He came from a humble area of Arizona, near Laughlin, Bullhead and Kingman. This area relies on vacationers to the Colorado river and gambling. My hometown of Los Angeles was unbelievably difficult. I never managed to get even a contact to respond as the city is overwhelmed with needy animals. I’m not a dog person. I’ve done my best but I’m suffering my own autoimmune issues and find Buddy too difficult to care for. He wants to love and protect. He needs love as we all do. He has love to give. I don’t understand how to give him what he needs. I try but I fail. Please help.
