Story
Meet Peanut and check out his VIDEO🐾 Peanut is one happy, sweet, and resilient pup with a heart full of love. He absolutely adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Despite a rough start, Peanut’s gentle and joyful spirit truly shines. Peanut was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter, where he narrowly avoided being placed on the euthanasia list. He was pulled by another rescue and quickly adopted, but sadly was let down when his adopter stopped responding and never followed through with care or records. Thankfully, we were able to track down his history and welcome this special boy safely into our rescue. For a teenage pup, Peanut is incredibly well-mannered. He knows how to sit, is eager to learn more, and is very treat-motivated, especially when paired with “good boy” praise! He enjoys car rides, walks nicely on leash, and loves spending time with his people. Peanut is both house-trained and kennel-trained and would make a wonderful family dog or the perfect best friend for a human and or canine companion. He’s ready for a fresh start and a forever home that will love him the way he deserves. Peanut is in San Antonio, TX His adoption fee for out of state includes transport with health certificate. A video meet and greet is required for adoption. If interested, please completed the adoption application either via the link below or click the button in the pet search website.

Story
Meet Charlie – Your Fluffy Adventure Buddy! 1.5 Years Old 50 lbs Possible Border Collie Mix Male Looking for a high-energy sidekick who doesn’t let a little rain, snow, or Buffalo wind slow him down? Meet Charlie — a fluffy, outdoorsy free spirit with a big personality and an even bigger love for sticks Charlie was built for adventure. Long morning walks? Yes please. Evening strolls? Absolutely. Road trip? He’s already in the car. He rides beautifully and is always ready to be your co-pilot on hiking trails, nature getaways, or scenic drives. This boy thrives on movement and connection. He’s not a “just let him out in the yard” kind of pup — he needs structured walks, outdoor time, mental enrichment, and a human who enjoys staying active. When his body and brain are fulfilled, he happily curls up nearby for a well-earned nap. Charlie is still learning to navigate the world with confidence. He can be reactive to dogs and people on walks, so he’s looking for an experienced, patient adopter who understands reactivity and is committed to helping him continue building skills at his pace. With very slow, intentional introductions, he has shown he can coexist playfully and peacefully with other dogs. Because he can get overwhelmed, Charlie would do best in a quieter home with no young children (older, dog-savvy teens could be considered). He’s looking for structure, patience, and someone who will help him feel safe and secure. And let’s talk about that fluff — when his hair gets wet, it crimps into an 80s rockstar vibe that perfectly matches his wild-child spirit. Charlie’s Highlights: Active, sensitive, curious & hilarious Loves sticks, cool weather & outdoor adventures Excellent car rider Dog compatible with slow, proper introductions Best in an experienced, active home He’s not your dog-park social butterfly — he’s your loyal trail buddy, your walking partner, your “let’s get outside” motivator. If you’re ready for a devoted, goofy, adventure-loving companion and you understand that the best dogs are the ones you grow with… Charlie is ready to meet you. (73)Buddysrescue.org   ##2666766##
