Buddy - Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Dyer, Indiana

Meet Buddy!

Buddy is looking for a new best friend.

Buddy came to us after his owner, a veteran who loved him very much, was no longer able to care for him due to memory loss and a move into a memory care facility. While it was a difficult transition, Buddy is now looking for a family to help him begin his next chapter.

This sweet boy has already proven himself to be an easy companion. He does well with other dogs, gets along with cats, and enjoys being part of the household. He's past the puppy stage and has settled into that wonderful age where he simply wants to spend time with his people and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Buddy has the kind of calm, loyal personality that makes him an excellent companion. Whether you're relaxing at home, watching TV, or enjoying a quiet evening, Buddy is happy just being nearby.
This is what foster mom says: He loves to play-push around gently especially on the bed. He loves my husband the most "Man dog" but he still loves me too. He will let us know if he hears anything outside. He ignores the other dogs and cat in the house. he hasn't pottied in our house. He loves to be up by your neck and give face kisses. He must sleep in bed under the covers. He won't use a kennel. Overall he is a gentle dog.
He prefers inside over outside but will hang out for a bit outside.

At around 8 years old, Buddy still has plenty of love to give and is hoping to find a family that will cherish him for the wonderful dog he is.

If you're looking for a faithful friend who will appreciate a soft bed, a loving home, and a second chance, Buddy may be the perfect match for you.

About Day of the Dogs

Day of the Dogs is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping shelter and rescue dogs find safety, families, and second chances.

Founded in 2015 by a Kansas City native, Day of the Dogs began after Pam moved to Houston, Texas and witnessed firsthand the devastating shelter overcrowding crisis facing southern communities, where some shelters have only days to find an outcome for homeless pets.

Today, Day of the Dogs coordinates life-saving transports from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other southern areas to rescue partners, shelters, fosters, and adopters in Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City region communities where adoption demand can help create better outcomes for pets in need. We also focus on long stay dogs in the Greater Kansas City and surrounding rural areas to help those pets get out of kennels and into homes.

We also facilitate direct adoptions through our foster networks in both Kansas City and Northwest Indiana and partner with shelters and rescue organizations across Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana to save more lives together.

Because every open foster home creates another opportunity to save a dog, we are always looking for foster families to join our mission.

Day of the Dogs operates entirely on donations. Every transport, veterinary appointment, supply purchase, and life saved is possible because of supporters who believe every dog deserves a chance.
