A Buddy For Life Inc. in New Castle, Delaware, USA

Posted Breed: Terrier / Mixed. In the middle of December 2016, we received numerous calls from good samaritans regarding a dog that seemed to be living in the woods near the Christiana Mall. After speaking with several people, it is believed that this poor guy had been living out there since October 2016. This poor boy would lay next to the guard rail watching the cars go by, but when any kind person approached him, he would run. The volunteers at A Buddy For Life went out to the location to scout the area and decide the best course of action. He was living in an area where he had access to dumpsters for food, a stream for water, and a dilapidated abandoned old trailer for shelter. He had his own lonely life carved out for himself. Our volunteers spotted him a few times, but no matter how much coaxing and chicken they had, he would run out of fear. After all, someone probably dumped him out there. How could he ever trust a human again? We decided to set a humane trap in the hopes of catching him. He was pretty elusive. After 26 days of checking the trap around the clock, he finally went in after some liverwurst. Now the real work would begin…….. The good news? Andy was just scared and needed to know he wasn’t on his own anymore. After two days of being with us, he showed us that he wants to be with people, wants to be surrounded by love and wants a family to call his own. He now spends his days in a foster home lounging on the couch and being the dog he has always wanted to be. He is great with people that he has met so far. He loves to go for walks and car rides! Andy is a fun loving, keep you warm at night kind of guy. His loyalty and zest for life knows no bounds. He only asks one thing in return—to be the apple of your eye as the only four legged love in your life. He is housebroken, neutered and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee has been sponsored.

Posted Breed: Terrier (short coat). Bif's big head matches his big personality! He is always up for a game of ball or tug on a rope. Bif is friendly with other dogs and loves people. He is very food driven and wants to please. Bif does pull on a leash but calms down after the initial reaction of being out for a walk. We think he is about 3 years old.

Posted Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Hello! My name is Baxter and I’m a fun loving , loyal guy looking for a home of my very own. I had a home once, but my mom and dad said something about moving and said I couldn’t come with them. I don’t know why, I’m a good boy who hasn’t done anything wrong. A little about me: I love to play fetch and run laps in the yard. I would love to go on hikes. I’ve never been on one but I’ve heard they are fun! I’m house broken and crate trained. I’m also very good at snuggling at night. I know most commands like sit, stay, and lay. I love long strolls and playtime in the yard. A fenced in yard would be ideal so that I can run out my zoomies! After all of those zoomies, I would love nothing more than to take a long nap with my head in your lap. I would prefer to be the only keeper of your heart, four legged wise. Please share so that I might find my forever home! *My adoption fee has been sponsored for my perfect forever home!* I’m looking for a fun family or individual who wants a loyal guy full of love in their life. My foster mommy says I’m a very good boy and will make someone very happy. Could that be you?

Posted Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Lily was surrendered to a shelter when her family could no longer afford to feed her. She is a sweet girl but is very nervous with new people. She will need a family who understands this and will give her the time she needs when meeting new people. She does warm up and bonds to her family if you go slow with her, but every new person is like starting over. She is energetic and very smart so obedience training would be perfect for her (in home training). She does well with cats in her foster home. Because previously she may not have been fed properly she does have some food aggression with the other animals, not people. We are working on this with her, but we always recommend feeding separately anyway. If you are looking for a sweet girl who needs proper guidance and you are willing to give her the time she needs to feel comfortable please fill out and application and we can set up a meeting. abuddyforlife
