Buddie's Story
FAST FACTS<br/>* 4 Years Old & 50lbs<br/>* Potty Trained<br/>* Crate Trained<br/>* Kid Friendly<br/>* Needs To Be Only Dog In Home<br/><br/>Buddie is a 4-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart with a scrunchy face that is impossible to resist. This affectionate boy loves nothing more than being close to his people and soaking up every bit of attention he can get. If you stop petting him too soon, hell gently paw at you as a reminder that he's not quite finished with cuddle time yet.<br/><br/>Despite everything he's been through, Buddie remains a loving, gentle soul. He was found wandering the streets with what appeared to be a neck injury. A kind person tried to help by keeping him separated from their own dogs, but unfortunately the resident dogs jumped the enclosure and attacked him, causing additional severe injuries to his neck. When maggots were later discovered in the wounds, our rescue partners at OTAT West Texas stepped in to get him the medical care he desperately needed. Since then, Buddie has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, had his cherry eye repaired, and received treatment for his wounds. He is now healing beautifully and ready to find the forever family he deserves.<br/><br/>Buddie is potty trained, crate trained, and has a low-energy personality that makes him an easy companion. His days are simple and predictable: he sleeps quietly in his crate overnight, heads outside for a potty break, enjoys breakfast and his eye medication, spends the day lounging near his people, searching for attention, taking naps, and occasionally keeping an eye on the household bird. After dinner, more cuddles, evening medication, and a final potty break, he's ready to settle in for the night. He also enjoys short walks and walks nicely on a leash.<br/><br/>While Buddie is mostly okay with other dogs, he has shown resource guarding behaviors around food, people, and certain spaces, and has occasionally reacted toward other dogs. Because of this, we believe he would thrive as the only dog in the home where he never has to compete for the love and attention he craves. He is good with children but cannot live with cats.<br/><br/>Buddie can be vocal at times and doesn't love being left behind. He may cry for a minute or two when you leave, but settles quickly. When you're home, hell happily stay by your side wherever you go. His favorite activities include being petted, chewing on toys, squeaky toys, chasing balls, and simply relaxing next to his favorite people.<br/><br/>Buddie does have some ongoing medical needs, including eye medication, skin issues, and some discomfort in his hind legs. He struggles with stairs, so a single-story home would be ideal. We are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced owner who can continue helping him build confidence and work through his resource guarding behaviors.<br/><br/>His perfect home would be a calm, quiet environment where he can be spoiled the way he deserves. Whether that's with a family, a single person, or a retired individual looking for a loyal companion, Buddie is ready to give endless love in return.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a snuggly, silly best friend who will never let you feel alone, Buddie may be your perfect match.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS:<br/><br/>*ADOPTION FEE: $375<br/><br/>*Be at least 21 years of age<br/><br/>*Have the knowledge and agreement of all adults living in the household<br/><br/>*Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/><br/>*Have a valid ID with current address (please provide proof of address if ID address is not up-to-date)<br/><br/>*Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Fetching Tails Foundation<br/><br/>*Be prepared to make a lifetime commitment<br/><br/>*QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES?
