******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. ___ Meet Buddy – your future cuddle companion and loyal sidekick! This 4-year-old, 65-pound neutered male Pit Bull mix (with a possible dash of Bulldog!) is currently thriving in a loving foster home in San Antonio, Texas, and is available for out-of-state transport to an approved adopter. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Houston, Buddy has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate, and easygoing pup. He underwent a routine entropion surgery (to remove excess skin from his eyelids), and it hasn’t affected his vision one bit. What stands out most about Buddy isn’t just his sweet, blocky face—it’s his calm spirit and enormous heart. Buddy is the definition of a chill, lovable companion. He’s happiest curled up beside you for movie night, lounging in the sun, or just quietly observing the world around him. He’s especially fascinated by backyard wildlife—lizards and squirrels are his thing! He’ll happily spend hours watching and occasionally giving chase, so if your yard isn’t securely fenced, he’ll need to be leashed or supervised—those critters are just too tempting to resist. While Buddy has a relaxed energy overall, he still loves the occasional burst of zoomies and playtime. He’s great with other dogs, including his current foster sibling CoCo, and has made plenty of four-legged friends during his time in boarding. His quiet curiosity and gentle nature make him a joy to have around. He’s crate-trained, rides like a champ in the car, and is house-trained (he’s made excellent progress with routine and consistency). Buddy walks well on leash most of the time, but still pulls when excited—especially if squirrels are involved—so continued leash work will benefit him. Because Buddy is likely mixed with another strong breed (possibly Bulldog), he’ll do best with a confident owner who can provide consistent structure and guidance. He thrives when he knows what’s expected of him and will reward you with loyalty, affection, and his mellow, lovable presence. We don’t have history with cats or kids, but Buddy has been friendly and respectful with new people. His calm demeanor and big heart make him a wonderful companion for someone seeking a steady, affectionate, and soulful best friend. If you're ready to welcome a sweet pup who’s all about love, loyalty, and a good squirrel chase, Buddy Boy is ready to be your forever companion. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
