🐾 Meet Bud — Your Gentle Giant With a Heart of Gold 🐾
At 10 years old and a proud 95 pounds, Bud is a Great Pyrenees mix whose size is matched only by the warmth he brings into every room. 💙 He came to our rescue under heartbreaking circumstances—his beloved owner passed away—and while that chapter closed, Bud is ready to begin a new one filled with comfort, compassion, and companionship.
💛 A Truly Lovely Soul
• Bud is the definition of laid-back charm—great with all dogs, calm on walks, and unfazed by noisy canine greetings.
• No cats for this boy, though—he’s a little too intrigued by felines for their comfort. 🫣
• He’s lived with older children and shines with those who respect his space and slower pace. 🤗
• Smart? Oh, absolutely. He’s mastered the art of opening doors, so if a fence is involved, it will need to be very secure!
🌟 Everyday Moments Make Him Shine
• Bud adores rides in the car and settles beautifully in his crate.
• He’s got adorable quirks—like his fondness for drinking from the toilet (hey, good excuse to keep the lid down!). 🤭
• With polite table manners and zero begging, he’s an ideal dinner companion.
• Has a favorite stuffed toy, and when he’s feeling playful, he lights up the house.
🛏️ Comfort Is Key
• Bud appreciates a good brushing session and quiet shade by the pool.
• His foster calls him “the ultimate pal”—he greets everyone with calm affection and leaves people smiling. 🥰
Bud has arthritis and a limp from an old injury, but he is doing well on pain meds and enjoys shorter walks.
🎉 Ready for His Forever, Bud isn’t camera shy—he just prefers being present over posing. He’s content being near his people, loves gentle adventures, and will be a loyal sidekick to anyone ready to embrace the serenity of an older pup who’s still full of love and life. 💙
If you’re looking for a sweet, independent companion who’s past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of pep, Bud might just be your perfect match. 🐾

Additional adoption info
Each pet that is available for adoption is in a foster home for a minimum of 2 weeks after being rescued. This allows the animal to decompress and show their true personality, which in turn helps us find their best match.

Visit https://operationfreedomride.com/ and click "available pets" to see who is available for adoption.
Periodically we have adoption events around the greater Rochester, NY area; however, we largely rely on the application process to best match people/families with available pets and then set-up a meet and greet to make sure it's a great match before finalizing the adoption.
