Story
Meet Buddy A Resilient Pup with a Big Heart Buddy is a 9-month-old dog whos been navigating a chronic kidney condition since he was very young. Were still learning what that fully means for him long-term, but for now, with the help of a renal-support diet and regular care, hes doing well! What truly brings Buddy to life is being outside. Long walks arent just part of his routine - theyre his favorite part of the day. Its when hes at his happiest and most playful, diving into the grass, splashing through puddles, and sniffing every corner of the trail with genuine delight. He thrives with movement and fresh air, and you can see it in the way his whole body lights up. Buddy is affectionate and always up for a few extra treats or a good belly rub. He doesnt need perfection - just a family that will love him for who he is and enjoy the simple things in life alongside him. He would do so well in a home where he can be someones loyal companion, share in outdoor adventures, and finally know what it means to belong. If that sounds like you, Buddys ready and waiting.
