Buddy - NEEDS A FOSTER HOME RIGHT NOW!!!

Description

URGENT: Buddy Needs a Foster Home RIGHT NOW!!!Hi. I'm Buddy.I need to tell you something, and I need you to really hear it: I did something unforgivable. Something so bad that the people who were supposed to love me forever decided I wasn't worth keeping anymore.I grew up.That's it. That's my crime. I was born back in early 2023, adopted as a wide-eyed puppy who thought he'd finally found his people — his forever family. And for a while, I believed it. But puppies don't stay puppies, and somewhere along the way, I stopped being cute and convenient and started being... unwanted.I don't really understand it. I didn't change who I am. I'm still sweet and I am now a handsome boy. I still love everyone I meet — I even get along with kitties, if you can believe that. I've got an eternal good nature in me, the kind that doesn't quit no matter what. Even now, even living the way I do, I'm still a happy boy. I don't know any different, so I make the best of it. That's just who I am.But I want you to know the truth, because I think somebody should. My nails have grown long because nobody's taken me anywhere to have them trimmed. My meals haven't exactly been good ones, or regular ones. Most of my life happens inside a crate — a crate that doesn't even have a bottom to it. I didn't do anything to deserve this. No dog does. I promise you, I promise you with everything in me, that I have done nothing wrong except get a little bigger and a little older.Here's what I dream about, if you want to know: a yard with a fence, just so I can run — really run, the way dogs are supposed to. Somebody to scratch behind my ears and mean it. A soft place to sleep that isn't a crate with no floor. Attention. Cuddles. A home where I'm allowed to just be a good dog, because that's all I've ever tried to be.I don't have anyone in my corner right now. I need a foster, urgently — someone willing to open a door for me and give me a real chance at the family I should've had from the start.Will you be the one who rides in and saves the day for me? Will you show me what real love actually looks like? Because I promise you — the second somebody does, I will show them right back, without hesitation, without holding anything back. That's just who I am.Please. I'm waiting.Love,BuddyIf you would like to meet your new best foster, contact the Adoption Coordinator at atraore22@gmail.com or text 865-236-0830.
