Buddy

Meet Buddy - another of HIHS' long-stay dogs that had been in the shelter from 6 months old until he was almost 3 years old. He knew nothing of the outside world so our time with Buddy was spent going slow in most places. Our bond with him increased over time and we took him for multiple field trips, even bringing him to the mall during the holidays to see The Big Guy. Finally, we fostered Buddy after many failed attempts at his potential adoptions, and over the course of 6 weeks, we raised his confidence, increased his social awareness, and helped him find a loving home.
