My story

Meet Buddy — Your New Best... Buddy! Looking for a loyal companion with the body of a small horse and the heart of a golden retriever? Meet Buddy, a 1.5-year-old Chocolate Lab/Great Dane mix who’s 90 pounds of pure love, bounce, and “please drop that sandwich.” Buddy’s story hasn’t been easy — originally adopted from Gwinnett County as a puppy, he was sadly abandoned at a MARTA station in Fulton County, and ended up living with a kind homeless person. Our volunteer saw him at the station; he was so thin, emaciated, and craving attention from everyone he saw.  The KIND unhoused person asked if we could help him as feeding a 90 pound dog is not POSSIBLE, if one is unhoused. We agreed and took him in.  He was chipped so we found out his bad history.  He came to us unneutered, (OMG even adopted from a shelter that way), heartworm-positive, and with no idea how to walk on a leash, listen or even know where he was (we fixed all of that — especially the treat part ). Now he desparately needs a real home.  He is being fostered by a sweet older lady with health issues, who CANNOT keep him long.  Can you please consider him if you can.  Now Buddy is: &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Neutered &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Heartworm-free &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Professionally trained &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 And fully ready to be someone’s forever Buddy (see what we did there?) VERY well housetrained, walks well on a leash!! This gentle giant is goofy, affectionate, and thinks he's lap-dog material. He’s looking for a home where he’ll never be left behind again — preferably one with plenty of belly rubs, squeaky toys, and maybe a couch he can pretend not to sleep on. If you’ve got a big heart and a little room for 90 lbs of loyalty, Buddy might just be your... well, you know — Buddy. ALWAYS a trail basis, fees refunded, all supplies provided during a trial period.  Call/Text: 404-520-1060 Location: A Welcome Home Animal Rescue Email: awhar09@gmail.com Visit: www.awhar.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 4, 2025, 9:15 pm
