My story

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

Hi everyone! I’m Buddy, a happy-go-lucky black Lab with a heart full of love! I was born in February 2022, and even though I had a bit of a rough start, I'm ready to find my forever family! When I was a little pup, walking was a challenge. But my amazing foster mom came along and helped me on my road to recovery! My back legs needed some extra attention. My right leg was a bit weak and didn't bend much, so I used to swing it when I walked. But my left leg? It's super strong and works great! I've been doing physical therapy, which is lots of fun and includes toe wiggles and games (I might have given my foster mom a few ticklish licks during our sessions!). It's important for me to keep my left leg strong, and my foster mom thinks working with a professional physical therapist would be awesome. I can walk and hop pretty well when I go slow, but when I get excited (which is pretty often!), I sometimes scoot around like a happy little wiggle worm! I'm still working on potty training, but my foster mom has a secret: my tail! It goes straight up when I need to go potty, so she knows it's time for a break. Most of the time, I'm just too busy playing to remember! Slippery floors can be a little tricky for me unless I have good traction, and while I can do stairs, I might need a hand going down (those railings can be a bit scary!). But you know what? My spirit is unbreakable! I love *everyone* – kids, adults, and other doggie friends! (I haven't met any cats yet). I do bark in my kennel when I want attention, food, a potty break, or just because I'm feeling chatty! So, a home without shared walls would be best for me. Car rides are awesome, as long as I’m safely buckled up or in my crate. I even have a special "Help Em Up" harness for all our future adventures together! Are you ready to open your heart and home to a special needs pup with a heart of gold? I can't wait to meet you and give you all my love!
