I was asked to help save this sweet pup in the middle of the night due to his owner not being able to care for him. Buddy needs surgery for foreign body removal and an intussusception. I couldn't say no as I wanted to try my best to help give him a second chance. Currently he is staying at Summit Veterinary Referral Center as we try and collect funds for his emergency care.

I just met Buddy for the first time on Tuesday. He was a little uncomfortable but in very good spirits. I know once I might able to bring him them his personality will have time to shine. He would be living with me, my son and his new best friend Davos who is a dog. Each day I get excited to make this his new home and give him the love he deserves.

Since I've just met this dog I have not been able to pinpoint his personality but once he is home I'm very confident that that his personality will develop and he will be a lovable goofball and be a great addition to our family. When I went to visit him on Tuesday I brought him a stuffed animal he was excited to see it but still a little unsure as I'm a new person to him.

Everyone this is Buddy Love Doctor! He is my new rescue baby. Since he is 1-year-old, I didn't want to change his name and confuse him more than he already is. He had a FB and intussusception surgery late last night. He also has an elongated soft palate. Currently he is at Summit Veterinary Center.

The surgery costs makes it difficult for me to help support him. I want to give him a second chance at life especially since he is so young, getting financial support from the community would help us tremendously and I would be forever grateful.
