Hi, I’m AirBud, and I’m learning what it means to feel safe, but I’m so ready to find the person who’ll help me believe in forever. You see, my story didn’t start in a warm, loving home. I was found all alone on a road in Walker County with no idea how I got there or why no one came looking. At the shelter, I curled up in the back of my kennel, hoping to disappear. Every time they brought me outside, my instinct was to run, not because I wanted to leave, but because I didn’t know if I could trust again. But then AGA came for me. I’ll never forget that car ride. I was trembling and was unsure of what was coming next. But the soft voices, the gentle hands, and the kind smiles gave me my first glimpse of hope. I started to believe things might finally be okay.
Now, I’m 3 years old, weigh about 55 pounds, and I’m slowly learning how to enjoy life again. I bond deeply with the people around me, I just need someone patient and loving to help me continue building trust. I’ve been around other dogs and may do well with a calm, respectful companion, but I’d need a slow, gentle introduction in the home. A fenced yard would be great to help me feel secure, but it’s not required if you’re active and can help me safely explore the world. I’m not a perfect dog, I’m a healing one. But I know there’s someone out there who sees dogs like me and says, “You’re worth it.” If that’s you, I’m ready to give you my whole heart. Love you, Airbud
