Buddy's Story

DOB 10/16/24<br/>Weight: 58 lbs <br/>Temperament: Gentle, initially shy, very dog‑friendly<br/><br/>Meet Buddy — a resilient young dog with a soft heart and a story that shows just how far love can go.<br/><br/>Buddy was live‑trapped in March 2025 after surviving in snow with his littermates, his face and paws painfully embedded with quills. It took more than 30 hours and a team of determined rescuers to bring him to safety.<br/><br/>Today, Buddy has blossomed. He walks beautifully on leash, enjoys quiet affection, and is highly treat‑motivated. He still has a shy streak, but he warms up quickly—especially with women. Though he currently lives in a foster home with men, he truly shines and feels most confident around female handlers. One of his biggest milestones: a child can now hand‑feed him treats, something we never imagined in those early days.<br/><br/>Buddy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a home that understands gentle guidance, patience, and the magic of earning a dog’s trust.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your kindness every single day, Buddy may be the one.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Apply to adopt Buddy today.
