About Buddy

🐾Introducing 4.5 year old Buddy. This handsome big guy needs to be the only pet in his new forever home. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

🐾Buddy is crate trained, house trained and has been raised with 5 kiddos (newborn to 13 year old). He is a big, strong 80 pound boy and loves to “hug” and “mouth”, so could use some training around this.

🐾Buddy is being painstakingly surrendered because he consistently fights with the 6 year old male Golden in the home. He is AKC registered.

🐾Buddy does well at the groomer. He can be a bit of a trash collector (who doesn’t love leftovers, socks and plastic toys?), so will need close monitoring as he settles into his new environment.

🐾Buddy will do best in a very active household. He’s a field bred Golden Retriever and needs A LOT of exercise and attention. He loves his humans and wants to be near them 💯.

🐾Again, we will only adopt Buddy into a home without any other pets. If we already have your application on file and you have no other pets in the household, AND you are near Boise/Kuna, please reach out. We are giving priority to those that have applications on file with us in the Boise area that have no other pets. At this time we are excepting new applications in homes that have no other pets in the Boise area.

🐾 And as always, please be patient with us as we are currently a volunteer based Rescue. Kind comments, only.
