Ever dreamed of a 100-pound shadow who follows you everywhere, adores car rides, and occasionally tries to fit his XXL self on your lap? Meet Bud, the ultimate “ride-or-die” best friend — emphasis on ride because this dude lives for car rides. 🚗💨
At 10 years old, Bud has perfected the art of chill. He’s loyal, affectionate, and devoted to his people — like, “wait by the door until you come home” devoted. He’s calm and gentle, with just enough stubborn streak to keep life interesting (translation: sometimes you’ll need to negotiate coming inside with a leash, not words 😅).
Bud’s ideal day?
☀️ Morning walk to handle serious business (he prefers to poop anywhere but his yard — a man of principle).
🍳 Breakfast. Belly rubs.
🛋 Lounging near his humans, occasionally backing his butt into you for pets.
🌳 Afternoon car ride or a stroll at the park to sniff every single smell known to dogkind.
🌙 Dinner, one last stretch in the yard, and bedtime snuggles.
He’s crate trained (but doesn’t need it), house trained (never an accident), respectful (unless you leave snacks at eye level), and has just the right amount of drool for a dog his size.
Bud can hang out with other dogs in public — he’s a polite gentleman on walks and at the park — but let’s be real… he doesn’t want to share his home, his couch, or his humans. 😂 He’s happiest as your one and only big buddy, soaking up all the love for himself.
He’s a little older, a little wiser, and still has plenty of gas in the tank for walks, car rides, and love. ❤️
So if you’re looking for a gentle giant who’ll be your best friend, car buddy, and emotional support goofball — Bud’s your guy.
🐶 10 years old | 100+ lbs | Loyal. Lovable. Lap-dog-at-heart.

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.
