Description

Meet Buddy 🐾 Buddy is a gorgeous 8 year-old Chocolate Labrador who has the sweetest, most fun-loving personality. When Buddy first came into our care, he was sadly very skinny and in poor body condition. Since arriving with us, he has been receiving the care, attention and nourishment he needs, and we’re delighted to see him steadily gaining weight and condition. Despite everything he has been through, Buddy is full of life and absolutely loves having fun. Just take a look at his beach video and you’ll see what we mean! Watching Buddy running along the beach, enjoying himself and being a happy Labrador is a lovely reminder of the character he has underneath it all. He really is a fun-loving boy who deserves the chance to enjoy life. Buddy has also been treated for an ear haematoma, which he has coped with very well. We are currently carrying out some further investigations into his health, and these are ongoing. Any necessary investigations and treatment relating to his current medical issues will be covered by The Barn while these matters are being worked through. We are now hoping to find Buddy a kind, compassionate and understanding family who will see beyond his medical history and give him the loving home he deserves. Our hope is that Buddy can become a much-loved member of the family and, most importantly, be part of the home rather than simply a dog who lives alongside it. Buddy will follow our normal rehoming process, including the usual checks and matching process. However, because of his ongoing medical investigations, The Barn will continue to have input into and responsibility for his current medical issues until these are resolved. We want to make sure Buddy and his new family have the support they need throughout this period. Buddy has already shown us what a wonderful, happy and resilient boy he is. Now he needs someone to show him just how good life can be. If you think you could offer Buddy the patience, kindness and loving home he deserves, we would love to hear from you. ❤️🐾
