My story

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

Buddy is a 7-year-old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog mix with a heart as big as his 113 lb frame. Born and raised in sunny Arizona, he later moved east with his loving owner to be closer to family. Sadly, due to health challenges, his owner can no longer care for him — and now this sweet boy is looking for a forever family to share his golden years with.

Buddy is the definition of a love bug. He adores his people, greets them with a happily wagging tail, and thrives on affection. Despite his size, he’s a gentle soul who just wants to be close. His favorite things? Exploring the outdoors, tasty treats (he’ll do anything for food!), and simply being with the people he loves. He loves toys, playing with other dogs and people, and going on car rides!

Because Buddy gets so excited about the world around him, leash walks are best until he can learn some off-leash manners. He’s very intelligent and already knows how to communicate when he needs to go outside or when it’s time for food or water. Buddy has grown up around other dogs and enjoys their company, but he’s not a fan of cats. He’s also lived with children for the last year.

This big, beautiful boy is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and ready for the next chapter of his life — one filled with love, companionship, and plenty of treats.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and goofy best friend who will brighten every day with his presence, Buddy is waiting for you.Please call 802-892-5300 for more information or fill out the online application at www.riversideanimalrescue.org

More about this rescue

Riverside Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit organization which is dedicated to placing homeless or unwanted pets into loving, forever homes. We were formed in 2003 because of the overwhelming number of homeless pets in our area. Since then we have adopted out hundreds of dogs/puppies and ats/kittens, along with several other small critters. We are a no kill shelter so everyone gets a chance for a forever home. Our shelter is financed solely by donations, we are not government funded, and we are staffed by volunteers.
