This is the story of how Buddy the dog and Austin, a U.S. Army veteran met. The tale of how their lives intersected and their journey to nd one another.
Buddy arrived at the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center in Castle Rock on May 6, 2018, but his journey started long before he walked through our shelter doors. Buddy, a 3-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback mix, was removed from an overwhelmed shelter in northern Texas and made the journey to Colorado with hopes of nding a new home.
From the moment he arrived at the Buddy Center, the large dog proved that he had a gentle and kind heart. He stayed close to people, rewarding back scratches with gentle kisses and seeking out cuddles. Not much was known about Buddy's history before he arrived at the Dumb Friends League. We could tell from his caring eyes that he was a good dog just waiting for the right person to walk through the doors at the Buddy Center and adopt him.
Buddy meets Austin thanks to collaboration
Austin learned about the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center through an organization called Pets for Patriots. Austin knew he was ready to add another canine companion to his life after losing his dog and contacted Pets for Patriots to assist him in the process. Pets for Patriots partners veterans, active military and animal welfare groups across the nation to help place harder to adopt pets into homes. The criteria are threefold and straightforward.
