Buddy, a 3 year old purebred male golden, was brought to us by his owner who had to give Buddy up due to complaining neighbors. It seems Buddy was kept outside and barked a lot at the neighbor who was a yoga practicer and no one could “focus” when Buddy barked. The owner was facing hefty fines for disturbing their peace and Buddy being a “nuisance”. When we met Buddy it was obvious he was no nuisance, but a wonderful dog in serious need of some love and attention. Well now Buddy has a new mom and dad and three kids to help raise. But he really belongs to the 13 year old boy who told us he has wanted a golden for 12 years and 362 days. He had always been promised that on his 13th birthday he could get a golden and his birthday was in 3 days. Buddy’s new pal was intent on rescuing a golden and searched long and hard for the perfect dog. He wanted a dog to swim with and when he saw Buddy dive into the pool everyone knew these two would be swimming together for many years to come. In addition to the three kids Buddy also shares his new home with a Silke Terrier who is very much the alpha dog. But Buddy couldn’t seem to care less; life is good with this new family and he will never be left alone again.
