We just met Buddy (temporary name), the homeless dog that Karen's family found and is currently fostering. He's so beautiful and curious and fun loving.We ran around the store and played and he watched us work.
They tracked down his old "owner" and turns out he's a friend of some Portland Trailblazer who gives this guy pit bulls to breed out of his backyard. Buddy kept escaping, that's why his face is all banged up. So, Buddy was a backyard dog used for breeding, and once Karen told this guy she got Buddy fixed, well, he told her he didn't want him anymore, so she and her family are still trying to find him a home.
Buddy is a really really great dog. He's only about 16 months old, so he's still a puppy, but he already knows his basic commands really well. We don't think he was used for fighting because he's really great with other dogs, and also great with children. They're still not sure about cats, but his old owner said he was never around cats, and from seeing him in the store, he's very very curious, so hopefully it's just a natural curiosity to them. And since he's so young still, he is so easily trainable. The only thing is from being left in the backyard all his life, he hates being alone, so he has some separation issues, but hopefully this will get better once he feels secure.
Please, anyone out there willing to foster or adopt Buddy. He's so amazing already, and has so much potential for being the perfect family dog.
Get in touch please.
