Give the Gift of a Good Home

Buddy Dog Humane Society has big dogs and little dogs, long haired cats and short haired cats all waiting for a home like yours.

Cat: Tang is a one-year-old domestic short haired cat. He arrived at Buddy Dog on August 11. Tang is a sweet cat who was found living in a barn. He enjoys being petted and is looking for a home with children age 8 and older. Dog: Yogi is a 10-year-old Lhasa Mix. He was brought to Buddy Dog in July when his owner passed away. Before arriving at Buddy Dog, Yogi lived a very quiet life. As a result, he can be a little nervous in new situations. An ideal home for Yogi would include adults who have had some dog experience and who are willing to train him. Young children would not be a good idea.

Meet Peter the Dog and Easter the Cat [VIDEO]

These are just two of the many cats and dogs awaiting adoption at the Buddy Dog Humane Society.

Cat: Easter is a 5-year-old domestic short haired cat. She is an affectionate cat who was brought to Buddy Dog as a stray. Easter is a mellow lap cat who loves to be petted and held. She enjoys being around kids and other cats, too. A home with children age 5 and up would be best for her. Easter will be a wonderful family pet. Dog: Peter is a 2-year-old Beagle Mix. He came to Buddy Dog as a stray so not too much is known about him. What is known, though, is that he is a sweet dog who enjoys going for walks and cuddling with the staff and volunteers at Buddy Dog. He is looking for a home with children age 10 and up. Peter likes other dogs, but is not good with cats or other small animals. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date…

Sparky and Lo Need a Home [VIDEO]

End the summer on a high note and adopt a new member for your family at Buddy Dog in Sudbury.

Cat: Lo is a two-year-old domestic long haired cat. She is a super sweet kitty who has grown up in a home with lots of cats. Lo loves attention and will fit well into almost any family situation. A home with children over the age of 5 would be best. Dog: Sparky is a 10-month-old Terrier mix. His previous owner surrendered him to Buddy Dog because they felt that they could not give him enough time. Sparky has not had a lot of training which seems to have affected his confidence. But, placed in a loving home (with children over age 10) routine and training he will be a happy, wonderful companion.

Georgia and Miss. Mustard Are Looking For Homes

Take a trip to Buddy Dog in Sudbury and adopt an animal today.

Cat: Miss. Mustard arrived at Buddy Dog on July 14 at just 10 weeks old. She was found outside all by herself and is still learning to be around people. Wouldn't she be a wonderful addition to your family? Dog: Georgia is a 5-year-old Labrador Mix who is relatively new to Buddy Dog. She is looking for a home without any cats but possibly another dog. The perfect scenario for Georgia would be a home with a fenced in yard where she can play freely. She especially enjoys playing with stuffed animals and fetch with a ball. Georgia would do best with kids age 8 and older. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on the latest Marlborough news, or simply hit the "like" button at the top of this page.
