About Buddy Dog Humane Society
Founded in 1961, "Buddy Dog", as it is affectionately known, is a not-for-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to finding new homes for homeless dogs and cats. The Society is incorporated with one main objective, "giving a new lease on life to impounded dogs and cats". Buddy Dog accepts homeless dogs and cats, in good health and of friendly disposition, which could, without our help, be destroyed. These animals find refuge at our shelter and can depend on becoming someone's forever friend. There is no time limit on their stay.
The goal of the Buddy Dog Humane Society is to find responsible and permanent homes for all the animals in their care. To help realize this goal, their adoption counselors work with potential adopters to match them with a friend for life.
