Rescue FAQs

The Buddy Foundation is on a mission to provide immediate safety and care to stray, abused and abandoned animals. Once we are assured that they are medically sound, we place them in a secure, temporary, no-kill environment. This immediate placement continues to provide all the love and comfort necessary for them. Subsequently, we look for their “forever” homes—ones committed to their well being and happiness, in all respects, for the continuation of their lives. Then Buddy will truly be "lighting the way home".
