Buddy/Buster found his forever home! *Picture #59*

Sure that wouldn't be a problem. We are staying home over the holidays and on New Years Eve.

So far no one on the agility group knew anything about a missing dog, unfortunately. But they recommended the Fido Alert group on facebook but I noticed you have him posted there already.

He looks like such a sweetie, I hope his owners are found, if not I bet there's some lap out there that just need warming!

Thank you so much!

He really is a good dog. He seems to catch on quickly. I need to work on basics with him, like sit and stay. But I believe he is a fast learner. Once he can calm down and focus. He is very puppy-ish.

He really does look like a total love bug. Is he scared at all? Skinny? I wonder why someone would abandon him like that, if that's the case.

He was terrified the night I found him. You can tell from that picture I posted. But now he is a happy camper! He is not skinny, his nails are not too long. He was taken care of for a while at least. Just upon a visual glance at his teeth, the girl at the vets office (not the doctor) said he was about a year old. If his owners do not step forward in two weeks I'll take him to the vet for a more thorough exam and a more accurate age guesstimate. The girl at the vet also said "'tis the season" for people to dump their dogs.

That's so sad what the girl at the vet said, about this being the season to dump dogs... I wonder if it's because they are planning to surprise their kids with a new pet for Christmas so the old one kinda has to "run away"? Really is heartbreaking

I don't know how I missed this thread!

THANK YOU for taking Buddy in and caring for him. He is a sweet dog.

You mentioned he is 'a fast learner when he can calm down and focus.' This likely is because he is an in tact male. It is hard for them to calm down and focus with all those hormones coursing through their bodies. And he has a little body! (We just had a discussion about this on the bichon forum, someone with a 2 year old male, in tact and a wild child, so it is all fresh in my mind).

Do you have long term plans for Buddy? Would you consider keeping him? Please give him a cuddle from me -- and one for all your crew, for allowing him to stay safe at this time.

I spoke to my mom about this last night and she said they could keep him (of course!). If we still have him. And he will get to meet everyone at Christmas too. So it won't be a huge shock for us to leave him there..........I hope.
But thank you for the offer! It is greatly appreciated!

Buddy looks like a keeper.

Buddy looks like a keeper.

I would keep him in an instant. BUT I want to find his home. And we've decided (or I have) that we are not a small dog home.

Good news is I showed his pic and video to a co-worker that had to put her Chihuahua down a few months ago. And she is interested in adopting him if his owners do not come forward!! This is perfect, because then I will keep tabs on him and get updates.
