Well, it wasn't exactly planned this way but in honor of Adopt A Senior Pet Month, the Dress My Rescue team is pleased to welcome a new crew member! Meet Buddy, our new senior rescue consultant. He comes with 15 years of experience in eating, napping, and generally being a huge sweetheart.
Unfortunately, Buddy's story is a sad one. He and a kitty were discovered by a landlord after they were left behind in their owner's house for three weeks with no food or water. He was in rough shape and close to not making it when they found him, but the landlord took him to the vet and generously paid for his care. He was fostered by a wonderful employee there and given another chance at a happy life. When those eye came across our Facebook feed looking for a forever home, we just knew he was supposed to be ours.
It has been a joy taking Buddy into our home. He doesn't ask for much beyond his food, a walk, and a few scratches and cuddles. He's a wonderful dog and we're so happy to let him live out the rest of his life as a part of our family.
If you've ever considered adopting an older pet, we encourage you to give it a try. You will be rewarded with unconditional love and a satisfaction that comes with knowing you've given an old soul a warm and loving place to lay their head at night. Besides, how can you resist those old man eyebrows? :)
