About Buddy

Male | 8 yrs | 23 lbs | Jack Russell/Beagle mix

Buddy is a sweet, adorable, fun-loving guy once he’s comfortable with you. He has made amazing progress in his structured kennel environment and responds well to training, exercise and positive reinforcement. He is adored by the kennel staff, however, he needs boundaries and ongoing training in order to help make better choices. Potential adopters would need to be aware of this and continue to work on his confidence, so that he can be the best he can be and overcome his fear of strangers. Buddy has a bite history and can be a bite risk without proper introductions. 

His wonderful adopter has passed away, and he’s looking for his new forever home. He will make an excellent companion to another senior that has dog and/or Jack Russell experience! 

Adoption Fee | $500

Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.

Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment.

For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page.

Why We Love Fostering

  • I grew up in an apartment where no pets were allowed. When I met my husband, he had a beautiful boy cat named Webster. He was such a good boy, he was so sweet and always sat between my legs. I treated him like my own. I had never felt the unconditional love that he gave me. When he passed away, I decided I wanted to give my love to cats unconditionally. My husband and my daughter agreed to be a foster family for kitties who needed help. I can't imagine a life or a home without cats in it.
