Buddy is a Celebration Dog

Every summer we celebrate the anniversary of the day we took Buddy home from the Humane Society. Back then it one had to have at least three supervised visits before taking home the pet. A background check was performed along with recommendations from the family's vet.

Buddy was also in a separate area from the other dogs. He did not socialized well with other canines. This made his future look bleak to a person just walking through.

He was our dog the first time my family seen him.

Our local Humane Society has changed since. Now anyone can walk in and take a pet immediately. Perhaps it is the large number of animals coming in their care. It was extreme when we wanted to adopt Buddy. But this is another extreme in my opinion.

Still, we would consider adopting our next pet from the Humane Society.

Here are two lenses about Buddy and the Humane Society. The first one is the latest.

I'm so glad you were able to rescue Buddy. It's so difficult for dogs who are not socialized well.

I rescued my little Maltese, Freddie, after he was picked up by Animal Control on our street. I tagged him in case he wasn't claimed. Lucky for me he came home with me. He's a darling and he stands on his hind legs and turns. We call him the Dancing Bear. :)

Lovely story about celebrating Buddgy.
