Buddy's story is like so many we hear in our area. He showed up in a yard and a family struggling to make ends meet did their best to care for him.  They reached out and we tried to help.  Buddy looks to be a Chesapeake Bay retriever and is a mild mannered dog. He is gentle with children and seems to get along ok with most dogs. He probabprobably should not live with cats. He's too curious and wants to chase them. The rescue has started him on slow kill heartworm  treatment and he should be negative for the disease very soon.
