Buddy's Story

Meet BUDDY – A Resilient, Loving Companion Looking for His Forever Family!<br/>Breed: German Shepherd / Shar-Pei Mix<br/>Age: Approximately 1.5 years<br/>Weight: 70 lbs (healthy and strong!)<br/>Neutered, Microchipped, Up-to-date on Vaccines<br/>BUDDYS journey is one of survival, love, and hope. In December 2024, he was found alone in the middle of Santa Fe and Willow Blvd, dangerously close to being hit by a car. I couldn’t let that happen—so I scooped him up and promised him a better life.<br/>Since then, BUDDY has bounced between fosters, but not all gave him the care he deserved. One even neglected to feed him properly, and he lost a lot of weight, it was for him to avoid sleeping in my SUV for over 65 days because no one wanted to foster. But BUDDY is a fighter. I got him back, nourished him with love and food, and today, he’s thriving again at a healthy 70 pounds.<br/>BUDDY is now ready to find his forever home.<br/>He’s a playful, energetic, and incredibly loving boy. He adores kids, gets along well with other dogs, and thrives in a home where he can be included in daily routines and adventures. He’s very smart, eager to please, and loves his walks — we go every morning and every night like clockwork.<br/>BUDDY is a wonderful mix of German Shepherd loyalty and Shar-Pei charm. He would do best in an active home with a yard or someone who loves to go on walks and play. His goofy, affectionate nature makes him impossible not to love.<br/>If you're looking for a companion who's been through the worst but still gives his best — BUDDY is your boy. He’s not just looking for a house, he’s looking for a family.<br/>Could you be the one to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?
