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 love fostering because it's a great feeling knowing that I am helping dogs find their forever homes. Knowing that they are coming from shelters where they may never be seen, and helping them get adjusted to a home in Canada is an amazing feeling. Since I travel a lot, fostering allows me to get my doggie cuddles and nature hikes without the stress of owning one.
