GSROC Sponsor A Dog

Bud does not need a super active home, but he does need consistency, clear expectations, and someone experienced who will provide calm leadership. He takes a little time to learn boundaries, but once you set them, he truly tries his very best to follow through. He wants to get it right.  Once Bud chooses you, his affection runs deep. He forms a strong bond with his person and absolutely thrives on attention and praise. Tell him he’s a good boy and you’ll see his softer side.  Bud also follows a vegetarian diet because of protein allergies, and he’s now thriving.

Life hasn’t always been kind to Bud. Someone in his past was unkind and even used water as a form of punishment, so it’s understandable that he’s not comfortable with it, even rain makes him uneasy.  With patience and kindness, though, he continues to come out of his protective shell and build trust. He walks beautifully on leash, is treat motivated, loves his giant Nylabones, enjoys relaxing in the sun, and likes spending time with his trusted friends.
