Story

🐾 Meet Buzz 🐾 We recently received an anonymous donation from a generous supporter to have Buzz fully vetted, and we are so thankful for their kindness! ❤️ Buzz went in last week and received all of his vaccinations, a heartworm test, microchip, and was neutered. He is recovering well, fully vetted, and officially ready to find his forever home! An adoption fee will still apply for the safety and wellbeing of the animal. Buzz came to us as a stray alongside his brother. He is a high-energy, confident boy with a natural leadership personality. Buzz absolutely loves the outdoors and is happiest when he has space to explore, run, and play. Whether he is chasing toys or soaking up attention from people, he is always ready for fun and companionship. Buzz has been with us at the pound for quite some time, and it is clear kennel life is not where he thrives. While he settles into his kennel without issue, you can tell he would much rather be out enjoying the world and spending time with his people. We estimate Buzz to be around 2–3 years old based on his teeth. He would do best in a home with room to stretch his legs and burn off his energy. A fenced yard or active lifestyle would be ideal for this adventurous boy. Buzz is ready to finally have a place to call home — somewhere he can run, play, and be loved the way he deserves. ❤️ Upon adoption, Buzz is: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Up to date on vaccinations If you are looking for an energetic, loyal companion who will keep life exciting, Buzz might just be the perfect fit for your family.
