Buddy, the Gentle Pitbull's Story

Buddy is the only pitbull in a husky sanctuary — and though he looks a little out of place, his heart is pure gold. His Story Buddy and his Cane Corso friend were abandoned at a trailer park in California when their owners left. A kind family took them in and tried to help, but when they were evicted, Buddy and his friend were once again left with nothing. Thanks to one of our amazing Woof Tribe members, both dogs were saved. His Cane Corso buddy was placed with another rescue, but Buddy has had a harder time. He came to us fragile, terrified of the world, and with no funds or support for his care. Where He’s At Now Buddy is shy and unsocialized. When he’s scared, he doesn’t growl or bite — he simply runs and barks. Slowly, we’ve started to see his brave heart shine through: ? He takes cookies from our kiddo volunteer. ? He even allowed his very first gentle pet through the fence. ? Trusts kids first then adults ?Desperately wants to integrate with the other doggos These are HUGE steps for a boy who has every reason not to trust. Can you give him a reason to fully trust?
