Buddy

Meet Buddy! This most gentle giant holds a special place in our rescue. Buddy is about six years old and was 70lbs when he arrived several months ago but is now 60lbs and almost at his goal weight due to his new healthy lifestyle. He comes from Texas, where he was surrendered to a shelter after his owner died of obesity related causes, which unfortunately also resulted in some weight issues for Buddy. He is the *sweetest* soul and is doing well on his weight loss journey in foster care. Buddy will be a wonderful companion to whoever adopts him.<br/><br/>His foster says:<br/><br/>"Buddy is a very special, happy guy who is a complete sweetheart. When he first came to New York, he was severely overweight and had trouble walking, but after a few months on a new diet and with regular exercise he is a brand new dog. <br/><br/>Buddy loves people and loves attention - sometimes when he really wants pets he will bark at you, but it's a friendly, happy bark! He is learning how to play, probably for the first time in a long time. He loves every new human he meets and he likes to stop to meet new people on walks. He is also very dog friendly! <br/><br/>Buddy probably didn't have the best life growing up but he has shown amazing progress in New York and is a true inspiration. We have grown very attached to him and love him very much! Buddy would be great as a solo dog, or with other dogs in the house. He's a couch potato, and also is 100% housebroken - not a single accident in the six weeks he's been with us. He would be a great apartment dog! <br/><br/>Buddy is best suited for a home without little kids (ten and under) as he is not a huge fan of their chaotic energy. Buddy has also been diagnosed with Cushing's, but his symptoms have abated a lot and he is responding really well to a daily supplement. It's time for Buddy to find his forever home so he can truly bask in the love of his new owners!"<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Buddy, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt.truenorthrescue@gmail.com to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE.
