Thursday I had the good fortune to meet Buddy out at the Delta Community Animal Shelter (DCAS). He’s the new kid in town having just arrived from the shelter in Terrace where he was surrendered when his owner fell on some hard times.

The shelter environment can be stressful for the animals in care but Buddy seems to be taking it all in stride.

 

We could tell he was excited to see us and happy to take all the pets and tummy rubs we wanted to give. Of course I fell in love with those big soft ears.

 

 

Such a handsome and easy going guy!

He’s very inquisitive and alert. During our time together we had some visitors and heard a bit of yelling from the nearby construction workers. He always wanted to go check things out but I don’t recall ever hearing him bark. That could just be my failing memory though 😉

 

 

He’s got such a wonderful creamy beige and brown coat with a very subtle scattering of black hairs on his upper back and a perfectly white tip on his tail. So cute!

 

 

It wasn’t long before the excitement of the day caught up with him and it was time for a little snooze. Did I mention that I totally fell in love with those ears?

 

 

Buddy will be ready for adoption just as soon as he’s neutered. Shelter staff say he’s good with kids, cats, and other dogs too.

 

 

Talk to the DCAS staff  (who are absolutely wonderful too 🙂 ) to get all the details about Buddy and to fill out an adoption application.
