This seasoned gentleman is Buddy.  Buddy is an approximately 8 year old, 60 lb, black Lab mix.  (We do not DNA test). He is neutered and up to date on his core vaccinations. Not much is known about this guy’s past, but he is ready for his future family.  

Buddy enjoys the finer things in life.  A leisurely stroll, a treat, a nap on the couch next to his favorite human, another treat.  Buddy’s motto is “Relax”, and he takes his peaceful relaxation time very seriously.  

Buddy’s wish list for a forever home isn’t too complicated.  A couch, some treats, a few walks, a stroll around the yard (if he has one), a new best friend to call his own.  He would love to be your only friend, but he is ok with dogs that are of his size and temperament.  Being chill is key.  

Buddy has been good with kids and meeting new people.  He has NOT been exposed to cats.  

Buddy is heartworm positive, but do not let that deter you.  He will be treated at the expense of the rescue, and approved applicants will speak to a member of our medical team prior to meeting so they fully understand the treatment and can ask any questions they may have. 

Buddy's adoption fee is $175.00 and includes his completed wellness visit and age appropriate vaccines
