Buddha's Story

Meet Buddha: A Little Dog With a Big Heart That Just Needs to Feel Safe <br/>Some dogs run straight into your arms. Others need a little time to believe your arms are a safe place to land. Buddha is one of those special souls who reminds us that the best things in life are worth waiting for. <br/>At around 8 months old, this handsome terrier mix is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. He’s shy, sensitive, and easily startled, especially around new people. But underneath that cautious exterior is an absolute LOVE BUG just waiting to blossom.<br/>Buddha may need a little patience at first, but give him time, move at his pace, and let him learn to trust you on his terms. Once he feels safe, you’ll discover a sweet, affectionate little companion who follows his favorite human from room to room, wants to be wherever you are, and is happy to share his heart with you. <br/>He loves going for walks, does beautifully on a leash, is crate-trained and potty-trained, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. In fact, having a confident, friendly canine companion in his forever home is a must for Buddha. He needs a furry friend to show him the ropes, help him feel secure, and teach him that new things aren’t so frightening after all.<br/>Buddha tends to be more nervous around men than women, although with patience and gentle introductions, he can learn to trust men, too. Because sudden movements, unpredictable behavior, and high-pitched voices can frighten him, a home without young children is essential. He’ll thrive best in a calm, patient household with people who understand that trust is earned, not demanded.<br/>And if you happen to fall in love with both Buddha and his buddy Rocky, adopting them together would be wonderful! They could continue their journey side by side. But Buddha can also thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog who can help him find his courage.<br/>Buddha is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. He’s ready for his forever home. He just needs someone willing to give him the time and space to discover that he’s finally safe.<br/>Buddha isn’t looking for a perfect person. He’s looking for his person. Someone who will celebrate the first time he approaches them without fear, the first time he curls up beside them, and the day he no longer feels the need to be afraid.<br/>Because when a shy little dog finally trusts you with his heart, there’s something incredibly special about knowing he chose you.<br/>Could you be the safe place Buddha has been waiting for?

Habitat 4 Paws's Adoption Policy
Adopters must visit with a potential pet and adoption counselor. We prefer that all family members and pets are present during this process to ensure a good fit. If all goes well, adopters will complete an application. After application approval, a home visit will be scheduled.  We do not hold pets nor do we adopt on a first come, first served basis. Our goal is to find the home that best fits that pet’s needs. Adoption fees are $225 for dogs, $275 for puppies under 1 year of age, $185 for cats and kittens.  All pets will be spayed/neutered, receive age appropriate vaccinations and microchip, will be tested for common diseases, and kept current on heartworm and flea preventative. Habitat 4 Paws will host regular offsite adoptions, food drives, microchip clinics and fundraising events. Stay up to date through our website and Facebook page!
