Buddy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Buddy
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Labrador Retriever, Pitbull mix
Home: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
 
   It still amazes me how people can abandon their pets. We adopted Buddy from the SPCA on the west coast of the province. He was abandoned in an apartment when his previous owners moved away, which is where he was discovered, weighing in around 25 pounds (11 kg) underweight when volunteers rescued him. The Corner Brook SPCA did an awesome job rehabilitating him, re-socializing him, and getting him back up to a healthy weight. Unfortunately after almost a year at the shelter, he was still without a home, largely due to some underlying dog aggression issues he had, and the shelter was running out of time and space. We found out about him the day before he was scheduled to be euthanized, due to space limitations at the shelter. The volunteers were great, arranging transportation for him across the island free of charge.

    Since Buddy arrived home over two years ago, he's made a huge impact on our family's life. We could tell from the start he had some serious trust, and abandonment issues but, we knew we were his second chance, and with a little patience he came around, day by day. Today, we can't imagine our home without him, or our little girl's best friend to follow her to bed every night. They are inseparable, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
