Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Buddy, a happy, good-natured dog with a big heart and an even bigger sense of adventure! He’s a bit of an escape artist who loves to stretch his legs and run, so a secure yard or active home would be perfect for him. Buddy has lived outside most of his life, happily snoozing in his favorite old rocking chair when he’s not exploring.
He’s friendly with strangers and loves to meet new people—sometimes a little too enthusiastically! He tends to jump up when he’s excited, so some gentle manners training would help him polish those greetings. He’s been around horses, cats, and other dogs and has done well with all of them. When he was younger, he even used to play with the horses!
Buddy has a great temperament—loving, loyal, and full of life. He’s met kids before and enjoys their company, though his bouncy personality means he might accidentally knock over little ones. He already knows how to “sit” and would thrive with someone who can keep building on his good behavior.
If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who loves to love and is always ready for the next adventure, Buddy might just be your perfect match!

Each year the Dubuque Regional Humane Society (DRHS) helps find homes for over 2,700 lost, abandoned, neglected, rescued or surrendered companion animals the DRHS cares for annually. Our efforts wouldn’t be possible without our community believing in the mission of DRHS and promoting adoption. Adoption not only saves lives but builds families, creates unconditional friendships and promotes the benefits of the human-animal bond. If you are considering welcoming a new best friend into your heart and home, please opt to adopt.
ADOPTING FROM THE DRHS IS EASY!
First, take a look at out our current adoptable dogs, cats, and critters using our website. If it is love at first sight, double check by clicking on their photo to make sure they aren’t already on hold. If you don't find your newest family member please keep checking back as new adoptable animals are looking for homes on a daily basis.
Second, plan to visit to the DRHS' Kinsey's Campus to meet your potential new best friend. We recommend you spend at least 15 minutes getting to know each other and encourage you to ask any questions you may have about them.
Third, complete an adoption application form. We will assist you in evaluating your lifestyle in regards to the animal's needs, review your history of pet ownership and share with you the animal's records. Keep in mind, all adoptions take about 45 minutes to complete. The Dubuque Regional Humane Society has the right to refuse an adoption if it is in the best interest of the animal.
All adoptions from the Dubuque Regional Humane Society include the following:
Spay or neuter surgery
Deworming
First set of distemper shots
Flea and tick treatment
Rabies vaccines
Bordetella vaccination (dogs only)
Microchipping
